RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet:
1) Accept the tender from RMT Tyres Ltd for the provision of Supply, Fitting and Service of Tyres for Fleet to the London Borough of Hillingdon for a four year period from 8 May 2023 to 7 May 2027 at the projected value of £832,521, subject to annual inflationary increases.
2) Furthermore, agrees that this includes the provision to extend the contract for a two year period (6 years in total), delegating approval of any extension to the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Finance.
Reasons for decision
Following a competitive procurement exercise, Cabinet agreed a contract for the supply, fitting and servicing of tyres for the Council's fleet of 295 vehicles.
The Cabinet Member for Property, Highways and Transport noted the significant use of tyres by such vehicles and that the contract would ensure they could be back on the road as quickly as possible.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have considered providing the service in-house or consolidate within the main vehicle maintenance contract, but discounted these for the reasons set out in the report.
