Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Wessex Water covers the counties of South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Somerset, Dorset and the western parts of Wiltshire and Hampshire.
Suppliers are required to offer a single point of contact to manage all routine and emergency tyre replacement requirements.
Whilst the majority of requirements will be during a working week of Monday-Friday 8:30 to 17:30 our tankers routinely operate 24/7 and our maintenance teams are on call 24/7.
As such we need a guaranteed 60-90 minutes response time 24/7, 365 days.
Wessex requires the successful supplier to provide consolidated monthly invoicing, backed up with data for each transaction.
Standard net prices are required for the full range of tyres and services, including call out, out of hours etc. These are to be fixed for a 12-month period, with subsequent reviews in line with pre-agreed criteria.
Wessex Water will only accept quality branded, new tyres, with the exception of the HGV Fleet where First Life Casings of quality branded tyres will be considered. Suppliers will need to list the brands they would offer under the ‘quality’ banner.
Unless specifically approved by Wessex or its agent(s) routine replacement is only authorised where the tyre tread is 2 mm or under.
The procedure for replacing HGV tyres is detailed below:
— authorisation must be obtained before changing any tyres during normal working hours from GJC Commercials our HGV agent;
— out of hours breakdowns to be attended and agent to be contacted when repair completed;
— out of hours calls for worn tyres that are still legal need to be authorised by agent not driver;
— all wheels to be re-torqued as to manufactures recommendation;
— after re-torque lock tabs must be fitted to all removed wheels;
— if for any reason the re-torque or fitting of lock tabs cannot be completed the supplier must contact Wessex Water Fleet department or GJC Commercials before leaving site.
The framework agreement will be for 4-year period.
If you can satisfy these requirements and would like to be pre-qualify to receive the tender please email Ashley Mee, Head of Purchasing, ashley.mee@wessexwater.co.uk by 4.12.2015.
