SOL Licensing Supplies for Plates and Badges 2026

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05a557

Description

The Licensing Team is responsible for a range of statutory services including hackney carriage/private hire (driver, vehicle and operator); scrap metal collector and street trader licensing. In addition, the Council issues personal licences for people wishing to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol. These licence holders all require some form of badge or licence plate to identify either themselves or their vehicle.

This contract is to procure the necessary supplies, equipment, and any associated software/services required, to enable the Council to create, customise, issue and affix licences. The supplies include (as a minimum), vehicle plates, brackets (or other fixings to secure the plates), licence cards/badges and any supplementary products such as lanyards/clips for the badges. Additional items such as the means of customisation may also be included (if required).

Furthermore, it is intended for the Council to have an ability to direct award the procurement of additional items (related to the licensing function), depending on future policy requirements, such as (but not limited to) door/window stickers to emphasise and enhance the public safety message.
