These services are to include but not be limited to inspection, adjustment, restoration, and body work, replacement of assemblies and components used to construct an emergency services vehicle and general repair work, which could take place in a workshop or as a mobile service (limited services). The Authority or Collaborating participant will scrutinise and assure the quality and cost of services provided throughout the life of the contract. Assessment work will include but not be limited to, the inspection of returned vehicles, scrutinising of estimates and invoices. Vehicle repair is a vital service to ensure the smooth running of the Police and Collaborating participant(s) fleets. It is imperative that organisations to be included on the contract are able to demonstrate how emergency services work will be prioritised and completed in a timely manner as well as understanding the impact of excellent transportation particularly for Police work and should at all times show professionalism and competence.
