The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland buys fleet vehicle tyres through a national framework.
The Home Office, working with the National Association of Police Fleet Managers (NAPFM,) has for many years worked collaboratively to award national contracts and frameworks.
This framework has been tendered in partnership with Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and the aggregation of spend has produced the framework for tyres RM3767 which replaces RM955 that expired on 9th October 2016.
Following consultation with key stakeholders the need for a single replacement framework agreement was identified which would offer a full range of tyres and associated fitting service to organisations across the public sector.
A prior information notice was published on 6th February 2016 (2016/S 026-041554) and notified the market that CCS intended to go to market. The procurement exercise was undertaken using the open procedure and the advertisement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on the 27th July 2016 (2016/143-259139)
Following evaluation and compliance checks the framework was awarded exclusively to Goodyear Dunlop Tyres UK Ltd for the supply of tyres and tyre service.
Subject to the PCC’s final approval, the new National contract will commence on the 10th October 2016 and is for a four year period.
