St Helens Council is looking for a potential contractor to provide rates for the supply of vehicle chassis, body & ancillary equipment steam cleaning services. A definitive forecast of future vehicle cleaning requirements cannot be supplied. The Council cannot guarantee the number of requests suppliers may or may not receive, but a list of approximate wash types is included within the pricing schedule document. The Council has a diverse fleet of approximately 200 vehicles ranging from cars to 32,000 kg roll on / off vehicles, 25 plus refuse collection vehicles with another 25 plus recycling collection vehicles, coach built adapted buses to tractors and many more. Approximately 80 of these vehicles require around 6 steam cleans per year. Normal working hours for most of the fleet are Monday to Friday 6.00am to 6pm, although due to the nature of the various services some weekend and bank holiday work is undertaken. Whilst most vehicles can be made available during these periods some will need to be completed either after 6pm or at weekends. The vehicles will need to be washed at Hardshaw Brook Depot WA9 1JR, the depot is open 24hours 365(6) days per year and access arrangements both during and outside normal working hours are via the depot security barrier. Vehicle cleaning will take place in the designated vehicle wash bay area, and the successful provider will be responsible for keeping this area clean, along with the vehicle wash ramp and wash ramp recessed area.
