Opportunity Overview
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire (OPCC) on behalf of Warwickshire Police is considering future options for the provision of its Vehicle Recovery Service.
We would therefore like to invite suppliers to participate in the preliminary market engagement process.
This exercise is purely for the purpose of information gathering in order to inform the procurement strategy going forward.
It should be noted that any future purchase will be subject to a full competitive tendering procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. A full specification of technical, functional and non-functional requirements would be provided within the tender documentation.
Warwickshire Police requires a vehicle recovery service to support operational policing activities across the county. The service is required to ensure that vehicles which are illegally, dangerously or obstructively parked, have broken down, are collision damaged, abandoned, or stolen, can be removed, recovered, stored and processed safely and efficiently.
The service must also provide for the recovery, storage and processing of vehicles seized by the police under prescribed legislation including but not exhaustive to Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002, Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, and Section 152 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. All services must be delivered in accordance with relevant legislation, statutory requirements, national and local guidance, and Warwickshire Police policies and procedures.
The current service arrangement is delivered through three locally based recovery providers, each responsible for a defined geographical area within the county. This model has enabled responsive service delivery using local expertise, reduced travel times, and comprehensive coverage across Warwickshire.
The service is currently structured into the following lots based on geographical area:
- Lot 1 North Warwickshire and North Warwickshire Rural
- Lot 2...
