Help Shape West Dunbartonshire Council’s Procurement for Fleet Vehicle MOTs!

West Dunbartonshire Council is inviting MOT service providers to participate in a market research questionnaire. The purpose of the exercise is to help the Council better understand the marketplace, engage with potential suppliers, and inform the procurement strategy for the provision of annual MOT inspections and testing services for its Class IV, V, and VII fleet vehicles.

The Council is specifically looking to understand and gauge interest from the supply base within West Dunbartonshire test centres to inform the lotting strategy for MOTs for vehicles under 3500kg.

The MOTs required are based across the two depot workshops, one in Elm Road Dumbarton and the other in Richmond Street, Clydebank. Ideally, these depots would be best served by local MOT centres that have the capacity, capability and the relevant licensing.

Lot 1 – Service Provision of annual MOT inspections and tests for Class IV, V & VII Fleet – Dumbarton

Lot 2 – Service Provision of annual MOT inspections and tests for Class IV, V & VII Fleet – Clydebank

The estimated total value of this contract excluding VAT is £44k.

The procurement is likely to commence later this year, with the tender anticipating going out in August with the contract starting in October.

The estimated date of publication for this contract notice is Monday 3 August 2026.

A Prior Information Notice has been published on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS), where additional information can be accessed and interested parties can express their interest.
