Specialist Fleet Services Ltd (SFS) has been awarded a five-year contract to maintain Three Rivers District Council’s fleet of more than 80 vehicles.
The deal, which includes an optional two-year extension, began on 1 August 2026. It covers refuse collection vehicles, vans, and grounds maintenance and street cleansing assets such as mowers and tippers.
The Rickmansworth-based council ran the tender through a framework agreement from The Procurement Partnership Ltd.
Cllr Rainbow, lead member for public services, said the council wanted a provider that could improve operational efficiency while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
‘SFS has an excellent track record of partnering with local authorities and we liked their approach,’ she continued.
‘They have the skills and resources to help us improve the performance of our fleet and have already carried out significant work to optimise and upgrade our workshop facilities.’
During mobilisation, SFS transferred one member of the existing team under TUPE and recruited a second permanent technician, while providing mobile engineering support during the transition.
Bob Sweetland, Managing Director at SFS, commented: ‘We welcome Three Rivers District Council and look forward to building a long and productive partnership. We have already been able to make some positive changes, and our team will continue working hard to add value and improve efficiency wherever possible.’
