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
Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description

The Authority invites response to this Invitation to Tender (ITT) from suitably qualified suppliers ("Suppliers") for the provision of Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services. The Authority does not have its own repair facility and therefore the services under this agreement will include all aspects of both planned and unplanned maintenance and repairs. This includes MOTs, Servicing and Bodywork Repairs (excluding very minor bodywork repairs/dents and scratches). The Authority currently has a fleet of 160 vehicles which comprises of a variety of cars, light commercial, minibuses and large goods vehicles, details of the manufacturers and models can be found in the Specification Documents. The numbers of Authority fleet vehicles may be subject to change as vehicles are added to or removed from the Authority's fleet list. This opportunity is divided into two lots. A "lot" is defined as a grouping of similar services that a single procurement process has been split into single lots.

The supplier also needs to be able to recover vehicles that cannot be driven to site. LOT 2 - BODYWORK REPAIRS This lot is for bodywork and accidental/non-accidental damage repairs to ensure the vehicles safe and road legal. Work will be on an ad hoc basis. Potential Suppliers should note that no guarantee can be given with regard to the volume or value of work under either of the lots.
