Vehicle-fleet management services

Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") in relation to a total fleet management solution. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The Council currently has a contract for the provision of vehicle maintenance and repair. This contract is due to end on 31 March 2019 and following a review by the Council executives of the current contract and the requirements of the Council beyond 31 March 2019, it has been agreed not to currently invoke the possible extension but to explore the options to re-tender the requirement under a revised model. Further details can be seen in the project brief in the PPME Document.
