Published requirement descriptionThe Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), acting on behalf of the contracting authority identified in the Tender Notice and Contract, is seeking to appoint suppliers capable of delivering safe, efficient, resilient and high-quality vehicle collision repair services for its overt fleet.
The fleet includes vehicles used in frontline, specialist and support policing roles and incorporates a range of powertrains, technologies and operational equipment. Fleet availability and the minimisation of Vehicle Off Road (VOR) time are therefore critical to operational policing and public service delivery.
The fleet is undergoing transformation, including increased adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), digital fleet-management technology and sustainability initiatives. Tenderers must propose a solution with the capability, capacity, expertise and resilience to deliver the Services throughout the Contract Term and adapt to evolving operational and technological requirements.
- How the procedure runs: This procurement will be conducted using the Competitive Flexible Procedure ("CFP") in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Authority has designed a multi-stage procurement process intended to identify the Most Advantageous Tender whilst retaining flexibility to engage with Suppliers where doing so would improve procurement outcomes. The procurement process may comprise the following stages: - Stage 1 • Procurement-Specific Questionnaire (PSQ); • Conditions of Participation (CoP); and • Initial Tender Submission. Stage 2 (Optional) • Dialogue, Clarification and Supplier Presentation Stage. Stage 3 (Optional) • Negotiation Stage. Stage 4 (Optional) • Best and Final Offer ("BAFO") Stage. Contract Award: - The Authority reserves the right, following completion of any stage, to determine that further stages are unnecessary and to proceed directly to contract award where it considers that sufficient information has been obtained to identify the Most Advantageous Tender. The Authority also reserves the right not to undertake one or more of the optional stages described below and may conclude the procurement at an earlier stage where this is considered appropriate.

No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- Turnover usually expected: about £11,489,507 per lot (twice each lot's annual value).
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula. Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 51 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly. Contracts Finder contracts appear on the Retender Radar, not yet in these figures.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
