Opportunity overview

Further to Transparency Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-032070 The Company requires a contract for the provision of vehicle maintenance and repair services in respect of the fleet of both new and existing vehicles used in the delivery of waste collection and recycling services, in accordance with the Company’s Agreement with Wiltshire Council. Ubico has been awarded the contract to deliver Waste and Recycling Services on behalf of Wiltshire Council, with service commencement scheduled for 1 August 2026. In order to support the effective mobilisation of these services, a Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Agreement is essential to ensure that the fleet is fully operational, compliant and service‐ready from the commencement date. The procurement timetable associated with the award of the new waste and recycling services contract has not afforded Ubico sufficient time to complete a compliant and competitive procurement exercise for vehicle maintenance and repair services within the required mobilisation period. These services are critical to operational readiness, fleet availability and statutory service delivery. Any delay in securing appropriate maintenance and repair arrangements would present a significant risk to mobilisation, with potential impacts on service continuity, fleet reliability and contractual performance from day one of service commencement. As such, it is necessary to put in place interim or alternative arrangements to ensure continuity of vehicle maintenance and repair services while maintaining operational resilience and safeguarding service delivery obligations.

Procurement Method Details
Direct award
Why this procedure was chosen
Applicable justification: Schedule 5 – Urgency: Where (a) the goods, services or works to be supplied under the public contract are strictly necessary for reasons of extreme and unavoidable urgency, and (b) as a result the public contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure. Ubico has been awarded the contract to deliver Waste and Recycling Services on behalf of Wiltshire Council, with service commencement scheduled for 1 August 2026. To support the mobilisation of these services, a Vehicle Repair and Maintenance Agreement is essential to ensure fleet readiness and operational continuity from the start of the contract. However, the procurement timeline associated with the new service award has not allowed Ubico sufficient time to undertake a compliant, competitive procurement process for these vehicle maintenance services. These services are critical to mobilisation, and any delay would present a significant risk to service readiness and delivery. Due to the extreme and unavoidable urgency, it is not feasible to run a full tender process before mobilisation. Therefore, a short term direct award to the incumbent supplier is required solely to maintain continuity of essential fleet maintenance services. This interim arrangement will ensure that Ubico can mobilise the contract safely and effectively while finalising the specification and preparing a competitive procurement for the longer term solution. This direct award is limited strictly to what is necessary to address the immediate mobilisation requirements and to enable a compliant procurement process for the future service provision.
