Technical requirements: Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is seeking tenders from qualified and skilled vehicle maintenance and repair contractors for the provision of maintenance and repair services to the Contracting Authority's municipal fleet.
Lot 1 is for the maintenance and repair of heavy goods vehicles. Ranging from 7.5 tonne tippers through to 26 tonne refuse vehicles.

This lot is for the maintenance and repair of the Contracting Authority's light vehicles ranging from Cars to Tippers.
The contract is drafted to include a ‘fixed maintenance’ provision which covers all servicing, MOT and general maintenance. A ‘non fair wear and tear’ repair provision is also required.
The Contracting Authority's fleet is a mix of vehicles such as 26 tonne refuse vehicles, 7.5 tonne tippers, light vans and 3.5 tonne tippers.
The provision of a complete service for Fixed Cost Contract Maintenance of the Contracting Authority's current light commercial and heavy goods commercial fleet, and any new Vehicles Purchased.
The scope does not include the provision of tyres. However it will be expected that where defective tyres are discovered during scheduled maintenance, that the Contractor will liaise with the Contracting Authority's nominated Tyre provider.
The scope of the contract does not include any contract hire vehicles that are procured and operated by the Contracting Authority.
Repair & Maintenance of Commercial Vehicles is typically required and managed by the Contracting Authority's Fleet Management Department.
The repair & maintenance of vehicle(s) is a critical element of the Contracting Authority's business to maintain roadworthiness and safety. It enables the different service areas to effectively meet their day to day business obligations. Unavailability of vehicles would therefore result in an inability of the Contracting Authority's service area(s) to conduct their business.
The repair and maintenance of the Contracting Authority's vehicles is critical to ensure compliance of Road Transport Law, directly in relation to the Goods Vehicles (Operator Licensing) Act 1995. Inspection Intervals are set at 6 weeks for all vehicles registered on the Contracting Authority's Operator's Licence. Failure by the Contractor to adhere to the service schedules can have severe implications for the Contracting Authority and the Contractor, therefore it is in both Contractor(s) and Contracting Authority's interests to ensure that maintenance is of the highest standard possible.
