UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority concerns the "Inspection and Testing of Roof Lines, Anchor, Abseiling, Flagpoles and Fixed Ladders 2026". This falls within the industry category of repair and maintenance services, intended for the region of Salisbury, United Kingdom, with delivery addresses also specified in Ireland. Initially in the tender stage, the process was set to progress under an open procedure with a tender period ending on 24th April 2026 and an award period concluding on 18th May 2026. However, as of 18th May 2026, the procurement was officially cancelled due to a reconsideration of scope and timescales.

This tender would have provided growth opportunities particularly to businesses offering specialised services in equipment inspection and maintenance. The proposed contract, valued at £192,000, was designed to span from 2026 to 2030, offering potential extension opportunities. Ideal candidates for this contract would be businesses proficient in safety inspections and compliance within multi-regional contexts, given the cross-border aspect involving both the UK and Ireland. Such opportunities allow businesses to engage in long-term partnerships with a public authority in the sub-central government sector, enhancing their profile and market reach.
