Published requirement description

Defra have a requirement for the provision of Servicing, Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (SIMAR) services for Commercial vehicles and Plant assets.

These services enable Defra Group Fleet Services (DGFS) commercial vehicles and plant assets to be available, safe and in road worthy condition as and when needed. As a category one responder, DGFS respond to major incidents 24 hours day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year and assets must be well maintained and readily available to provide an effective incident response. Commercial vehicles, especially those with towing capabilities, must be onsite and mobilised for incidents around the year. Vehicle off road time and disruption to operations must be minimal. Plant assets, particularly pumps and trailers, must be well maintained and serviced so they can be relied upon during incidents.

More information on our Specification of Requirements is provided in Appendix 1 – Commercial Specification and Appendix 2 – Plant Specification.
