Closing date: 10.00am Monday 14th December 2020. Additional information: A major fire on Sunday 15 November 2020 at a Dorset Council waste depot resulted in 18 x Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) and associated vehicles being destroyed. This has risen for an urgent need to source and procure pre-used RCVs, and associated vehicles, as replacements to swiftly remove the dependency of hiring replacements, in order to maintain vital waste services, as this is not economically viable for the Council. This does not give Dorset Council sufficient time to comply with standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. The Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, the Council is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation 27.5 for the open procedure) in respect of this procurement. ## CPV classification Motor vehicles for the transport of goods Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/2e424a02-05bc-472a-b4a3-78bcd7e627ca) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
