Supply and Fitment of Tyres for Vehicles and Plant
Scotland Excel · All their open notices
What this is
Scotland Excel (the local-government central purchasing body) is establishing a national framework for the supply and fitment of tyres for Scottish councils' fleets — cars, vans, trucks, minibuses, sweepers, heavy plant, grass machinery and tractors — covering budget to premium tyres and retreads plus associated services (balancing, puncture repair, re-grooving, certified disposal). Bidders MUST offer both supply-only and supply-and-fit; offering only one excludes the bid. Estimated GBP 28,000,000 excluding VAT over 48 months; run on PCS-Tender (project 31643).
