What is being bought

Published requirement description

MPS Fleet Services is seeking to appoint a single Supplier to provide inspection, calibration, servicing, maintenance and repair services for fleet workshop equipment and tools. The requirement also includes associated certification, technical support and the supply of parts and replacement equipment where required.

The Services will be delivered across MPS locations within the London area, including relevant mobile workshop and service assets. All submitted prices must be provided as net values, excluding VAT.

A suite of Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents is available to download through the MPS e-Tendering platform, Coupa. Bidders should refer to Annex B, Statement of Requirements, for a comprehensive description of the scope, service standards and contractual requirements.

Through this procurement, the MPS intends to appoint a single suitably qualified and capable Supplier to deliver the Services. An estimated contract value has been published in the UK4 Tender Notice. This value is indicative only, represents the anticipated upper limit and does not constitute a commitment to purchase or guarantee any level of revenue for the successful Supplier.

The MPS will award the contract based on the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT). This means that all aspects of the tender submission will be evaluated and scored-not just price. Therefore, submitting the lowest bid does not necessarily result in a winning tender.

Potential suppliers wishing to participate in this ITT opportunity and view all/any associated tender documents are invited to register via the following link:

The Authority did not undertake Preliminary Market Engagement for this procurement. The Authority considered that sufficient knowledge and information were available to develop the requirements, procurement strategy and tender documents without further engagement with the market. The opportunity is being conducted through an Open Procedure, providing all interested suppliers with equal access to the published Tender Notice and associated tender documents.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
