Description
Lot 1 Van Conversion Passenger Transport Vehicles x 18 (eighteen)
To supply vehicles to the Council's Specification. Please note: the Specification for the Van
Conversion vehicles includes a requirement that four of the eighteen vehicles must be fitted
with a driver security feature to ensure a passenger with challenging behaviour cannot
interfere with the driver and that the vehicle can be brought safely to standstill if required.
Lot 2 Coach-Built Passenger Transport Vehicles x 3 (three)
To supply vehicles to the Council's Specification included in the tender documents.
As part of the evaluation, bidders asked to explain how they will meet the Council's technical
specification for the vehicles and to explain what aftersales support, warranty, driver
training/familiarisation they will provide and their delivery timescales for the vehicles.
Bids are invited for either or both Lots
The contract term is 12 months with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months.
The extension period is to accommodate slippage on the build timescale that may arise due
to matters beyond the supplier's control e.g., supply chain delays due to wider socioeconomic,
political or environmental factors.
