Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority is buying vehicle and equipment servicing, repair, maintenance and collection services for Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service. BlueLight Commercial is conducting the procurement on the Fire Authority’s behalf. The work covers the fire service’s fleet and equipment, with delivery across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands locations identified in the requirement. This is fleet maintenance and repair work (CPV 50111000). The scope combines planned servicing and maintenance with repairs and collection, supporting the continued operation of the fire service’s vehicles and equipment.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. The single lot has an estimated value of £10.5 million excluding VAT (£13.125 million including VAT). Questions were due by 12 October 2026 at 1pm and tenders by 23 October 2026 at 5pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 24 January 2027 to 23 January 2032, with an option to extend by up to two years, either in full or as two one-year extensions. The award decision was due by 23 November 2026. Evaluation weights technical criteria at 60%, social value at 10% and commercial or price criteria at 30%.

The opportunity suits vehicle fleet servicing, repair and maintenance providers able to support a fire and rescue service’s vehicles and equipment, including collection as part of the service. Suppliers will need the technical capability and financial standing to meet the selection requirements, which are set out in the tender documents. The work is presented as one sizeable package, requiring capacity to deliver across the identified Nottinghamshire and East Midlands locations over a multi-year term, with potential extension. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable, so this is not restricted to large suppliers; firms may be well placed if they can demonstrate appropriate operational coverage, reliable maintenance and repair capability, and a credible approach to social value. The evaluation gives greatest weight to technical quality, alongside price and social value.
