How to win: Fleet Commercial Vehicle Procurement

About this contract

Dwr Cymru Cyfyngedig, trading as Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCC), is seeking to procure new, unused, UK specification commercial vehicles to support operational fleet requirements. The procurement covers approximately 85 vehicles across four Lots: Ford Transit Custom L2H1 Trend, Ford Transit Connect LWB Trend, MAN TGE 6.160 4x2 SB Lion XC and Isuzu D-Max Utility Extended Cab Auto. The vehicles are required to support water and wastewater operational activities and, in many cases, to interface with downstream vehicle conversion activity. The vehicles supplied must therefore meet the specified make, model, trim, delivery, PDI, warranty and aftersales requirements set out in the associated tender documents. The requirement includes supply and delivery to DCC’s nominated conversion supplier. This is not a requirement for used, pre-owned, ex-demonstrator, pre-registered or non-UK specification vehicles. Suppliers that cannot supply new vehicles meeting the specified make/model/trim requirements and associated warranty and delivery obligations should not submit a tender for the relevant Lot. The requirement is divided into four Lots: 1. Lot 1 – Ford – Transit Custom L2H1 Trend – 15 vehicles
