Description

Our fleet is a vital resource in us delivering life's essential service to our customers, and so maintaining it successfully is crucial to keeping our frontline operation working. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of our fleet and maximise the benefit to our operations, by introducing new innovations and ways of working across our fleet maintenance and management. We are keen to evaluate different fleet management models to ensure we implement the most efficient and beneficial solution, and prioritise accountability across our fleet. Thames Water intends to award either individual Framework Agreements for Vehicle Maintenance, Plant Maintenance, and Short Term Vehicle Hire, or a single Framework Agreement for a Complete Fleet Management Service that combines all the individual aspects.

Lot Division

1 Vehicle Maintenance
  • Value: £30M

Lot 1 is for the provision of SMR (Service, Maintenance and Repair), Tyres, Glass, Breakdown, Compliance, and Fleet Administration for all the vehicles in our fleet (c. 2700), including cars, vans, 4x4s, HGV, and ancillary equipment. Our fleet currently only consists of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles, however we will actively start introducing EV (Electric Vehicles) into our fleet from late 2024 (for LCVs (light commercial vehicles) only). Alternative Fuel Vehicles will be considered for HGV and plant at a later date. The Lot 1 framework agreement will be awarded to a single supplier.
2 Plant Maintenance
  • Value: £20M

Lot 2 is for the provision of SMR (Service, Maintenance and Repair), Tyres, Glass, Breakdown, and Compliance for all the plant assets in our fleet (c. 1000), including pumps, trailers, excavators, generators, etc. Our fleet currently only consists of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) plant assets, but we will look to consider Alternative Fuel options at a later date. The Lot 2 framework agreement will be awarded to a single supplier.
3 Short Term Vehicle Hire & Mobility
  • Value: £10M

Lot 3 is for the provision of short- and long-term hire vehicles, including cars, vans, 4x4s, and HGVs, as well as mobility solutions for our frontline employees, whilst our c. 2500 road-going fleet vehicles are off the road due to maintenance and repair throughout the year. The Lot 3 framework agreement will be awarded to a single supplier.
4 Complete Fleet Management Service
  • Value: £60M

Lot 4 is for the provision of a complete fleet management solution that includes vehicle maintenance, plant maintenance, and short-term vehicle hire. This lot is an alternative option to Lots 1, 2 and 3, allowing Thames Water the chance to understand the benefits of implementing a complete managed service for our fleet maintenance and hires, compared to awarding individual providers for the different requirements. The scope will include SMR (Service, Maintenance and Repair), Tyres, Glass, Breakdown, and Compliance for all the vehicles and plant assets in our fleet (c. 3700), as well as Fleet Administration for the vehicles in our fleet, and short- and long-term hire vehicles, and mobility solutions for our frontline employees, whilst our vehicles are off the road due to maintenance and repair. Our fleet currently only consists of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles, however we will actively start introducing EV (Electric Vehicles) into our fleet from late 2024 (for LCVs (light commercial vehicles) only). Alternative Fuel Vehicles will be considered for HGV and plant at a later date. The Lot 4 framework agreement will be awarded to a single supplier.
