Maintenance and Construction Supplier - Flexible Vehicle Hire
Maintenance and Construction Supplier Keeping fleet on track
Northgate teamed up with one of the world’s largest railway maintenance and construction suppliers to provide high-spec vehicles on flexible terms to combat high contractual penalty costs.
CHALLENGES
- Any delays for the operators could lead to thousands of pounds in contractual penalties, so minimising vehicle downtime was imperative.
- Every vehicle needed to be supplied to a high spec and custom fitted for critical on-site maintenance and repair work of railway equipment.
- With the business often winning short-term contracts, the volume of vehicles required fluctuates. Being able to add or remove vehicles on short notice would mean significant cost-savings and would support the business’s growth. .
SOLUTION
We developed a bespoke solution with the flexibility to add or return high-spec vehicles at its core. Our service and maintenance commitment ensures that they are not off the road for more than two hours. Contractual penalties are now kept to a minimum and the business can meet its vehicle needs more reliably and cost-effectively.

“We’re looking for a supplier who can maintain a first-class service and we really get that from Northgate. Their flexible offer fits in nicely with our business model: knowing we can return vehicles if a contract volume changes or we need to order more as we win business is a big plus.”Procurement Manager
