To supply vehicles to the Council's Specification included in the tender documents.

As part of the evaluation, bidders asked to explain how they will meet the Council's technical specification for the vehicles and to explain what aftersales support, warranty, driver training/familiarisation they will provide and their delivery timescales for the vehicles.

The contract term is 12 months with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months.
The extension period is to accommodate slippage on the build timescale that may arise due to matters beyond the supplier's control e.g., supply chain delays due to wider socio-economic, political or environmental factors.
