Third Time Lucky For Specialist Fleet Services in Aylesbury Vale

March 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Specialist Fleet Services Ltd (SFS), municipal vehicle and plant contract hire experts, have been successful in winning the contract to provide Aylesbury Vale District Council with a new fleet of RCV's, the third time that they have been selected by the local authority.

Aylesbury Vale District Council is reviewing its refuse and recycling collection service and the flexible approach demonstrated by SFS was a major factor in winning the tender.

Andrew Wilkins, Operations Manager: “We, like many authorities, are undergoing a process of change and we need to be able to change our fleet in line with any future changes to our waste collection service.  We believe in open and honest discussion and SFS provide that.  The contract is not only extremely competitive with very favourable lease arrangements, but also gives us the ability to change vehicles before the end of term of the contract.”

A member of the Rothschild Banking Group, SFS runs its own network of workshops and provides vehicle hire and fleet management services to the public and private sector, including maintenance, workshop management, service scheduling, compliance and testing, accident management, breakdown support, staff training and technical advice.

Bob Sweetland, managing director, SFS: “We recognise that the current climate, and pending local elections, is causing a greater degree of uncertainty in authorities.  Flexibility is an increasingly important factor in tender negotiations, along with service quality, reliability, and price.  We work closely with our customers to find the right solution for them.”
