two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Wales & West Utilities Ltd is a gas transporter operating the pipeline network in Wales and the South West of England. WWU's current fleet of operated mobile plant consists of circa. 600 units.
Due to a recent change in business strategy, it is likely that the size of the mobile plant fleet will grow within the next 2 years.
Mobile plant is replaced on a periodic 'on condition' basis; typical total volumes are 80-100 units of all types per year.
Trailers are usually drawn by light commercial vehicles with a gross weight of 3.5 tonnes and a train weight of 6.0/6.5 tonnes. Trailer gross weights are in the range 1.5-3.0 tonnes.
Mechanical handling equipment is depot-based across WWU's area and operates almost exclusively on hard surfaces. There is a need to rationalise and standardise where practicable the current mechanical handling equipment.
WWU are looking for a provider or providers to supply and deliver effective aftersales support to WWU's contracted maintenance provider for the following products for a period of up to five years.
• Trailers - standard and adapted standard types - including tipper, lifting canopy (for 'valve pit' & 'bagging off' equipment), open-top/mesh sided (for signs & barriers); box trailers; trailers for grounds care equipment
• Trailers - specialised - for transporting c. 1.5t mini excavator (allowing mini excavator to be loaded in forward direction and secured without the use of ratchet straps)
• Trailers - specialised - bowser with vacuum/syphon tank for de-watering gas mains; other bowser types e.g. to support on-site pressure-washing
• Trailer - mounted/towable compressor generator
• Trailers - specialised - for carrying and dispensing polyethylene pipe coils of various sizes - 50/90, 125, 180mm pipe diameters
• Trailer-type site welfare cabins with security
• Trailer-type site storage units (this type is not currently owned but containers are frequently hired)
• Excavator 1.5t c/w hammer; excavator 3t (the latter type is not currently owned but is frequently hired)
• Mechanical handling equipment - telehandlers; forklift trucks; lorry-mounted forklift trucks; reach trucks; skid-steer loaders.
• Miscellaneous Grounds maintenance and agricultural equipment, e.g. mowers, 'mule' type vehicles; quad bikes.
The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and it may be necessary to acquire other types in future as business needs dictate.
