Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Fire Authority has initiated a procurement process for a ten-year mid-life service of two Aerial Ladder Platforms initially supplied by Rosenbauer UK Ltd. This process falls under the industry category for "Security, fire-fighting, police, and defence equipment" as well as "Repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment". Located in Winsford, Cheshire, the authority executed a direct award, emphasizing the need for Rosenbauer’s proprietary diagnostic equipment, given their role as the manufacturer. The procurement process is currently in the 'Award' stage, with the contract effective from 13th October 2025 and ending on 31st December 2026. The total contract value is £264,000 GBP, covering services including transportation and duties related to the maintenance work at Rosenbauer's German facility.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in vehicle maintenance services within the fire and safety sector, particularly those already aligned with the technical specificity required for Rosenbauer equipment. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are suppliers or contractors could expand their portfolios and expertise by engaging with similar government procurement opportunities. The direct award nature of this tender underscores a demand for niche expertise and technology, presenting pathways for businesses with proprietary or highly specialised skills to secure future contracts through exclusive partnerships or technical collaborations.
