Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "P50 fire extinguishers" contract was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc), with a total value of £14,666. This initiative aimed to replace standard extinguishers with newer P50 units across various sites in the South East of England, ensuring service was due in June 2020. The procurement was completed via a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, and the contract was awarded on 27th May 2020, with the contract period ending on 3rd June 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in fire safety equipment and services. Given that Safelincs Limited, the awarded supplier, is the only provider of P50 extinguishers in the operational locations, businesses offering complementary fire safety solutions or efficient service provision could explore potential partnerships or future procurement opportunities within this market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

P50 fire extinguishers

Notice Description

Replace standard extinguishers with new P50 type for all CRS sites falling due for extinguisher service during June. Phased program of replacement, this has been done to ensure monthly invoicing ( better control of financial spend) and a more regular review of performance. Safelincs are the only supplier able to supply P50 extinguishers in the locations we operate. This is line with the remainder of the estate and was agreed as part of a wider Business Case last year. The TFM and standard servicing far exceed the costs of replacing with P50 units which will last 10 years.
