Description

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) are keen to understand the market options and availability for an upcoming parts procurement for the RMBC workshop. This market engagement therefore seeks to gather any knowledge and data that potential suppliers can provide to RMBC to improve the procurement and industry updates. All costs associated with providing a response must be borne by the Supplier. RMBC will not contribute in any way to meeting the production costs of any response. No down-selection of Potential Providers will take place as a consequence of any responses to this market engagement. The current RMBC fleet is diverse, totalling almost 400 assets, comprising of vehicles and plant equipment, ranging from cars, vans and minibuses, through to large goods vehicles and specialist municipal types, such as RCV's, Road Sweepers, Gully / Jet Vac Tankers. There is also a large inventory of grounds maintenance equipment, which includes Agricultural Tractors, Trailers, Quad Bikes, Ride on Mowers, Fine Turf Equipment and hand tools such as Strimmer's, Hedge Cutters, Chainsaws and Blowers. Parts supply is integral to the workshop operation that works to achieve minimum vehicle downtime, ensuring frontline services remain effective and without disruption. The current arrangement includes an imprest stock store and next day delivery for all requirements, including consumables. Due to the wide variety of parts required, across many different vehicle makes and models, it would not be possible for the workshop to procure the parts directly with multiple suppliers. It is therefore necessary to engage with a single third-party supplier to ensure the required parts can be provided both quickly and at the best possible price, taking advantage of the supplier's specialist knowledge, buying power and supply chain logistics. The market engagement will allow us to understand the market further and the functionality of the procurement.
