Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority is buying the design, installation and commissioning of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks, together with ongoing LPG fuel supply. The requirement is for the 2026 LPG tank project at Devizes Training Centre. It is categorised as goods and covers petroleum products, fuel and energy, specifically LPG. The named buying organisation is Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority. The procurement identifies Ireland as the delivery country for the item. The requirement therefore suits suppliers able to provide a complete LPG infrastructure solution, including tank design, installation, commissioning and continuing fuel deliveries, rather than suppliers offering fuel alone. The successful provider will need to support the operational requirements of a fire and rescue training centre.

The process has reached tender: the authority invited offers using an open procedure. Tenders had to be submitted electronically through the Bluelight e-Tendering Portal by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 18 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend yearly for a further two years, to 30 September 2031. The estimated total gross value is £350,000; the single lot is recorded with a gross value of AED 350,000. Evaluation is based on price at 70%, quality at 20% and social value at 10%. Bids may be submitted in English.

This opportunity is suited to LPG storage and fuel specialists that can deliver the full asset lifecycle: designing suitable storage tanks, carrying out installation, commissioning the equipment and supplying LPG throughout the contract. Suppliers should be able to manage installation work alongside an ongoing fuel service, coordinate delivery and operational support, and demonstrate the capacity to maintain reliable supply for a public-sector training facility. Quality accounts for a material part of the evaluation, so bidders will need a credible technical approach as well as competitive pricing. The social value element also rewards suppliers able to offer wider community or social benefits through their delivery model. Businesses focused only on fuel supply or only on tank installation are less closely aligned than integrated LPG contractors.
