## About this tender

The service required to be undertaken by the Contractor is to ensure that vehicle recovery, storage and disposal is undertaken with speed,

dignity, sensitivity and professionalism.

The Contractor will provide a 24-hour, 365 days a year (366 in a leap year) ‘one call’ message switching system and subsequent recovery

service. The Contractor will be responsible for providing suitable resources to achieve a fast, efficient recovery from the scene. Police

Scotland will pass to the Contractor’s Call-Handler the essential details of any incident with location, vehicle(s) involved (including owner

details) and the reason for the recovery.

The Contractor will provide sufficient Recovery Operators to be able to attend the scene of a recovery anywhere in the Force area normally

within 30 minutes in respect of light vehicle recovery and one hour for heavy vehicle recoveries of being notified unless there are

exceptional circumstances causing a delay, e.g. severe weather conditions or geographical area.

The Contractor shall ensure the appointed Recovery Operators carry out the requirements of the Scheme with due diligence and in a

professional and workmanlike manner, carry out recovery and parking, using materials and workmanship which comply with the Contract

Standard conditions of approval regulating the Scheme or as subsequently amended by the Police and in accordance with all statutory

provisions, including all appropriate Acts of Parliament and Statutory Regulations.

An undertaking is required that all vehicles recovered under the terms of the Contract will be contained in a secure compound or storage

building at all times unless vehicles are required for examination in which case they will be required to be secured under cover.
