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 priorities 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.
