Supply and Fitting of Tyres and Associated Products for Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council

About

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council awarded a contract to Direct Tyre Management Limited for the supply and fit of tyres, batteries, and other related services for a fleet of 166 vehicles and plant items.

The contract, valued at £600,000, involves a single overarching contractor managing a network of subcontractors to provide local coverage, with all communication, job management, invoicing, reporting, and complaint resolution handled by the overarching contractor.

The contractor can nominate dedicated subcontractors to serve all areas within a 1-hour call-out timeframe or dispatch the quickest available subcontractor with the required stock tyres.

Each supplier is expected to carry appropriate stock tyres for the nominated fleet vehicles in their area.

The Council operates a Michelin policy, and the contractor will work with the Council to ensure this policy remains suitable based on data including damage patterns, wear, and best practice.

The contract initially covers vehicles for Cheshire West and Chester, with the possibility that Cheshire West Recycling (CWR) may join during the contract term, though this is not guaranteed.
