Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes

Description

West Yorkshire Police (WYP) and Humberside Police (HP) are undertaking a collaborative tender (led by WYP) for their ‘Disposal, Recycling and Auctioning of Non-Police Vehicles’ contracts which are due to expire on the 31st May 2027. This concession service requires a Supplier to scrap, recycle and sell (auction) non-police vehicles and associated items for both Forces that have been abandoned, seized, collision damaged, burnt out and involved in crime. A UK1: Pipeline notice (Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-021190) (Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-050d1f) was previously published on the 6th May 2025, 1.33pm and edited on the 14th May 2025, 11.52am in relation to this project. The estimated volumes of vehicles in relation to the Contracts (based on historical data) are as follows: WYP Auctioned Vehicles per annum = 1,963 WYP Scrap Vehicles per annum = 5,217 HP Auctioned Vehicles per annum = 489 HP Scrap Vehicles per annum = 1,776 We would like to notify the market of this imminent tender opportunity for these concession contracts (WYP and HP) which we anticipate will be published late October / early November 2026. The WYP and HP Concession Contracts are anticipated to commence on the 1st June 2027 for a period of four (4) years with provision to extend for a further period, or successive periods, up to the 31st May 2033. Please ensure that you are registered with our e-tendering portal (the Blue Light National E-Commercial System) which can be accessed via the following link; https://atamis-7459.my.site.com/s/Welcome if you wish to participate in this tender when it goes live. We are also interested in identifying any market developments or any barriers for consideration with this service provision and wish to ascertain if there are sufficient numbers of providers in the market who are able to undertake our requirements to scrap, recycle and auction vehicles for both Forces as a one-stop-shop. If you are interested in participating in this preliminary market engagement exercise please request a copy of 'The Disposal, Recycling and Auctioning of Non-Police Vehicles Pre-Market Engagement’ documentation by emailing yb.procurement@westyorkshire.police.uk The deadline to request to participate in this pre-market engagement is 14:00 hours on Tuesday 20th October 2026.
