Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority sought the design, installation and commissioning of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks, together with ongoing LPG fuel supply, for its Devizes Training Centre. This is a combined equipment, installation and fuel-supply requirement, rather than a fuel-only purchase. The authority is the buyer. The tender identifies the training centre in Devizes, although its recorded delivery address gives Ireland; suppliers should check the procurement documents to confirm the intended delivery location before assessing logistics. The requirement covers the storage installation and its commissioning as well as the subsequent supply of LPG. It was classified as goods, with the main procurement covering petroleum products and LPG.

The authority invited offers through an open procedure, and the process has since been formally cancelled and abandoned because no compliant bids were received. The single-lot procurement was evaluated on price (70%), quality (20%) and social value (10%). The published gross estimated value was £350,000. The submission deadline, as revised, was 28 August 2026 at 12:00; the stated award-period end date was 18 September 2026. The contract period was set to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend annually for up to two further years, to a latest stated date of 30 September 2031. Offers had to be submitted through the Bluelight e-Tendering Portal. No cancellation reason beyond the absence of compliant bids was given.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers able to deliver the complete LPG installation, not just sell fuel: the scope combines tank design and installation, commissioning, and ongoing LPG supply. Businesses with experience in LPG storage systems and the practical capability to install and commission tanks may be well placed, particularly if they can also provide dependable fuel supply over the contract term. The evaluation gave the greatest weight to price, while quality and social value together accounted for the remaining assessment, so suppliers would need to address all three aspects in a bid. No particular accreditation, technical standard, minimum experience level, staffing requirement or capacity threshold is stated in the published procurement data. The recorded delivery location conflicts with the named Devizes Training Centre, making confirmation of logistics important for prospective suppliers.
