Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is procuring services to convert and recondition vehicles for self-contained breathing apparatus use. The work is intended to produce suitably equipped specialist vehicles rather than to supply standalone breathing apparatus. Delivery and performance will be based at Westburn Drive, Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. This is a single-service requirement covering the vehicle conversion activity as a whole. It is relevant to businesses specialising in emergency-service, fire-service or other operational vehicle conversions, particularly firms able to design, modify and recondition vehicles for specialist equipment and working environments. The requirement is classified as vehicle conversion and reconditioning services, with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as the buying organisation.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot. The estimated contract value is £1,200,000. The contract period is 27 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the tender deadline set for 7 September 2026 at 12:00 UK time; bids were to remain valid until 7 December 2026 at 23:59. The bid opening was scheduled for 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and the award period was scheduled to start on 7 September 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation is based on quality, weighted at 40%, and price, weighted at 60%. Variants are not allowed. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits established vehicle conversion and reconditioning businesses with the workshop facilities, specialist staff and delivery capacity to complete operational vehicle modifications within the stated contract period. Relevant experience may include converting vehicles for fire and rescue, emergency response, public safety or other demanding operational users, although the published requirement directs suppliers to the procurement documents for the detailed suitability and technical conditions. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate suitability against the ESPD and procurement documentation, and respond to the economic and technical selection requirements. The award model gives quality substantial importance alongside price, favouring businesses that can present a technically sound conversion approach, reliable workmanship and effective quality controls as well as competitive pricing.
