Tenders were invited for inclusion on the framework for provision of garage services for the inspection and testing of hackney carriage and private hire vehicles. The successful service providers awarded a position on the framework will be responsible for providing the service and liaising closely with the Derby City Council Representatives. The Council currently has 250 licensed hackney carriage vehicles and 834 licensed private hire vehicles. Each of these will require an annual test, and possibly retests. In addition to this, enforcement work may result in vehicles requiring ‘spot checks’, meter or accident damage checks. The annual inspection, any retests, meter checks, some spot checks (depending on reason) and accident damage checks are paid for by the licence holder concerned. In some enforcement situations tests are paid for by the Council, as part of its enforcement responsibilities. The framework will be let for an initial period of 2 years; the framework is estimated to commence on 16 November 2020 and expire 15 November 2022. There will be an option to extend the framework for a further 1 year. The maximum framework duration is 3 years. The estimated value is based on the full 3-year period. This value consists of all spend through the framework including spend made directly between the licence holder and service provider as well as Derby City Council and the service provider. The anticipated spend between Derby City Council and service provider is GBP 30 000 over the 3-year period.
