Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Fire Authority has recently completed a procurement process for the "Maintenance Service for Interactive Features Lighting and Scenery," intended to support their Safety Central education centre located in Lymm, Cheshire. The award process, classified under the services industry category, followed an open procurement method below the threshold, permitting broad competition. This thorough tender resulted in an award to Piranha Audio Visual Limited on 27th August 2025, marking the commencement of the contract on 1st October 2025, stretching until 30th September 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. This contract is specifically aimed at maintaining and potentially expanding interactive and scenic features across the centre, highlighting both the technical expertise and engagement required from the supplier.

The award criteria, split evenly between quality and price, underline the significance of delivering technical excellence alongside value. SMEs, in particular, can benefit from such contracts, given the successful bid by Piranha Audio Visual Limited, a small to medium enterprise. Furthermore, the option for contract extensions suggests ongoing potential for a steady workflow, promoting business stability and fostering long-term partnerships with a public authority like Cheshire Fire Authority.
