The Authority's requirements for the provision of vehicle inspection, maintenance and repair services for a mixed fleet of vehicles ranging from 26 tonne refuse collection vehicles and 12 tonne food waste vehicles to light good vehicles such a caged tippers and 3.5t vans. The supplier must familiarise itself with and observe all legislation and all other statutes, statutory instruments, regulations and abide by the Authorities operator licence requirements.

It is important that the Supplier fully understands that the statutory requirements are only the minimum requirements for the Authority vehicles to be deemed roadworthy. The Authority seeks to maintain its fleet to a standard over and above these requirements by ensuring that all vehicles are kept in good working condition and never at risk of falling below those minimum statutory requirements.

When instructed by the Authority’s Representative, the Supplier shall be able to provide the following Services:

a. Inspection and servicing.

b. MOT preparation.

c. MOT (‘annual test’).
