Summary of the contracting process

The Regional Business Services Organisation’s Procurement and Logistics Service established a framework on behalf of Health and Social Care Northern Ireland for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service. It covers the supply, delivery and collection of depolluted end-of-life vehicles for fire and rescue service use. The requirement is divided across four geographic areas in Northern Ireland—Eastern, Southern, Northern and Western—and a separate lot for the Learning and Development College. Suppliers must be able to provide vehicles that have been depolluted, together with the associated delivery and collection service. Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service participated in evaluating the tenders and will act as the buyer under the framework. The scope also allows the buyer to increase the range of end-of-life vehicles in response to its requirements.

The procurement is complete: T-Met Limited was selected for all five lots, and contracts were signed on 29 September 2026. The awards were made on 8 September 2026. The open procedure established a closed framework, with call-offs either reopening competition or being awarded without doing so. The Eastern, Southern, Northern and Western area awards are respectively valued at £70,900, £68,783, £121,831 and £100,302; the Learning and Development College award is £1,519,226. Each contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with potential extensions of up to 18 months. The tender closed on 29 May 2026 and enquiries closed on 19 May 2026. Mandatory schedules, specification compliance and an Authorised Treatment Facility permit were pass/fail requirements; price carried 100% of the scored evaluation. The buyer may make additional purchases.

This requirement suits vehicle suppliers able to source and deliver depolluted end-of-life vehicles and manage collection across a defined area or the college requirement. Credibility depends on holding an Authorised Treatment Facility permit, completing the mandatory schedules and meeting the specification. Suppliers also need dependable fulfilment against purchase-order delivery times, with vehicles fit for purpose and few rejected deliveries. The contract measures delivery performance, rejected vehicles and delivery of agreed climate-action social-value commitments, so bidders should be ready to evidence operational reliability and relevant environmental activity. The five-lot structure shows demand spanning several Northern Ireland areas and a substantial college requirement; bids were received from small and medium-sized businesses, including at final evaluation. The framework route permits call-offs with or without reopening competition.
