What is being bought

Published requirement description

This tender is being run as a mini-competition under Lot 6 of the DS183-15 framework and is only open to those pre-approved suppliers on that Lot.

The contract term will be for 5 years and cover the currently planned purchase of two vehicles for delivery in the financial years of 23/24 and 27/28 along with scope for a third, as a contingency against the unexpected loss or unrepairable damage to a current vehicle. This is based on our rolling programme of replacement as vehicles approach their projected end of life dates. No vehicle is guaranteed, as they are all dependant on funding being granted at the appropriate time. Funding has been agreed for the first vehicle planned for financial year 23/24 and is scoped for the second.
