Description

The Provision of Vehicle Collision Repair Services is required from Automotive Bodyshops who are certified to Vehicle Damage Repair Kitemark BS10125 (or will be certified to BS10125 by the site visits/end of the evaluation period 2/3 October 2023). The requirement will be to provide Vehicle Collision Repair services covering cars, light vehicles e.g. vans, heavy vehicles and motorcycles. The Automotive Bodyshop will also be responsible for having recovery vehicles to collect/deliver from/to Police HQ or other locations within Cheshire Constabulary area. The Automotive Bodyshop will also need to be able to attend Police HQ to undertake inspections of vehicles for production of repair estimates.

Vehicles owned, hired or leased by Cheshire Constabulary are involved in excess of 320 vehicle related collisions, incidents and cases of criminal damage each year. Occasionally there may be up to 20 vehicles per week requiring collision or other body repair services, on average most weeks it is much lower (est 5 vehicles per week). Automotive Bodyshops will need to demonstrate the capacity to deal with the anticipated volume of repairs and to cope with fluctuations in demand.

The Automotive Bodyshop providing the Vehicle Collision Repair Service will need to work with the Constabulary's Fleet Services Unit to return vehicles to the road and operational use in an efficient and cost effective manner.

The Contractor will be required to repair /replace Police Vehicle Livery and hold relevant accreditation (where required) to achieve warranty status.

The initial contract period is from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2026. There will be an option to extend to 31 October 2029 in increments of not less than 6 months. The value shown in the notice is an estimate for the full 6-year period.
