Agenda item

Decision:

That the National Procurement Service for Wales (NPS) Vehicle Spare Parts Framework, be used for the purchase of vehicle spare parts and the Head of Engineering and Transport be authorised to make a direct award to the highest ranked supplier (as detailed within the circulated report) for a period of two years from the 1 April 2017, with an option to extend for a further two years, in multiples not exceeding 12 months (in line with NPS framework terms).

Reasons for Decision:

1.              To enable the Fleet Section to purchase both manufacturer and non-manufacturer parts using an approved framework so the Local Authority are compliant in parts purchasing;

2.              To access potential financial savings on vehicle and plant parts whilst getting a better, more efficient service from suppliers who can access parts data across the whole of South Wales;

3.              To enable potential opportunities for local suppliers to supply more parts.

Implementation of Decision:

The decision will be implemented after the three day call in period.
