A Consortium of Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Local Authorities is seeking to establish a framework agreement in respect of vehicle/plant tyres and associated services. The Consortium, led by Bassetlaw District Council, is comprised of the following Councils whose vehicle fleets operate from depots located across Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire: Ashfield District Council; Bassetlaw District Council; Bolsover District Council; Broxtowe Borough Council; Chesterfield Borough Council; Derby City Council; Derbyshire Dales District Council; Erewash Borough Council; Gedling Borough Council; Mansfield District Council; Newark & Sherwood District Council; North East Derbyshire District Council; Nottingham City Council; and Rushcliffe Borough Council. Tenderers should note that although the contracting authority for the purposes of this procurement is Bassetlaw District Council, the framework agreement may be made available to other Councils and Public Bodies within the East Midlands region.

Collectively members of the Consortium have responsibility for approximately 2 500 vehicles, including but not limited to cars & car-derived vans, light commercial vehicles, HGVs including Refuse Freighters, minibuses, tractors, agricultural machinery, trailers, plant & equipment.

The successful Contractor will be expected to supply, fit and maintain all tyres on the respective Vehicle Fleets of each Consortium member. The Contractor will be responsible for any urgent remedial work required, including emergency call-outs to roadside and/or depot. It is a requirement that the Services be available to Consortium members on a 24/7 basis anywhere within the geographical area covered by the parties to the framework, although in reality the bulk of the Services will be executed during normal working hours.
