## Description
National Highways is pleased to invite interested suppliers to a contract opportunity of up to 10 years for a sole supplier (or entity) to deliver and manage a statutory vehicle removal service on behalf of National Highways. This contract will assist National Highways Traffic Officers who have the powers sanctioned within The Removal and Disposal of Vehicles (Traffic Officers) (England) Regulations 2008, to effect statutory removals for the safe removal of accident damaged, broken down and abandoned vehicles from England’s motorways and all-purpose-trunk-roads (also known as the Strategic Road Network – SRN) 
The SRN, which encompasses over 7,200km of motorways and major ‘A’ roads is the backbone of England’s national transport system and this network plays a critical role in connecting cities, facilitating commerce, and supporting economic growth, making its maintenance, enhancement, and management a national priority. 
A statutory removal service is required by National Highways on a 24 hour, 7 days a week (including bank holidays) basis and is focussed on those sections of the SRN that are patrolled by National Highways Traffic Officers. This service will require a supplier to establish, maintain and manage (or self-deliver) a fleet of national vehicle recovery operatives (VRO) that can be mobilised to respond to requests for recovery assistance.  
For this contract, the statutory charges that are set by the Home Office will apply under The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Regulations 2023 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/331/contents/made 
The services that the appointed supplier is expected to deliver and manage in collaboration with National Highways includes 
1) A National Statutory Vehicle Removal Service - This service will require the supply, provision, and management of a national network of VRO’s that can be mobilised to recover and remove vehicles of any type, dimension, and weight from the SRN when requested and instructed by the client. All vehicles, and occupants, removed as part of this service are then expected to be taken to the nearest appropriate place of safety and any abandoned vehicles removed will need to be taken into secure storage.  
Whilst the statutory charges are capped for vehicles up to and including 44 tonnes, this service may on occasion also require the removal of vehicles in excess of 44 tonnes (i.e. vehicles classified as abnormal loads) - where these situations occur, these will be dealt with as compensation events (full details are provided within the tender documentation)  
2) Debt Recovery Management Service – In association to the statutory removal of vehicles, a debt recovery service is required to recover and chase the outstanding statutory charges from registered vehicle owners who have had their vehicle(s) removed, stored, and disposed as part of the statutory vehicle removal service. 
3) Removal of Shed Loads (including waste disposal) – In association to the stat...
