The ODPCVC wishes to appoint a number of recovery operators (suppliers) to deliver the provision of vehicle recovery. The vehicle recovery scheme will be managed ‘In house' by a small team based at Police Headquarters in Durham. The contract will be divided into geographic lots, details of which will be available in the tender specification.
