7 Forces Commercial Services awarded a contract to FMG Services, Barretts of Canterbury, Monarch Automotive Accident Repair Centre, Toomey Motor Group Limited, and Total Motor Care for a bodyshop replacement and repair framework serving police forces in Kent, Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk.

The contract covers collection, repair, and delivery of marked, unmarked, and third-party damaged vehicles, with a maximum of three suppliers per county.

Valued at £2,100,000, the framework includes staged onboarding of forces, with Kent expected to go live first, followed by Suffolk and Norfolk in August/September, and Essex in June 2022.

The contract aims to ensure cost-effective and timely repairs according to relevant guidance, with further competition managed by turnaround time and proximity to damaged vehicles, and includes savings initiatives such as repair instead of replace and cost-effective parts.
