Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fire Authority is procuring an asset management system and associated software services. The requirement covers the supply of software, implementation and other software-related services, supporting the Authority’s management of its assets. This is a public-sector technology procurement led by the fire authority, with the main category being services. The scope is centred on providing a complete asset management solution rather than standalone consultancy or general IT support. Suppliers specialising in asset management platforms, software implementation and related support services should consider this opportunity. The procurement is intended for businesses able to provide and configure a software system for a public authority, with the solution demonstrated against practical scenarios during the evaluation process.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages. Suppliers first complete a pre-selection questionnaire and specification for review; five or more successful bidders then progress to the tender, evaluation and demonstration stage. Expressions of interest and enquiries were due by 23 July 2026 at 00:00 BST. The estimated gross value is £240,000. The contract is planned to run from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2031, with renewal options of two further 24-month periods and a maximum extent date of 19 November 2035. Evaluation is 70% quality and 30% price: quality comprises 40% written questions, 20% demonstration and 10% social value. Electronic submission is allowed in English, and the intended award date is 2 November 2026.

This opportunity suits software providers with an established asset management platform and the capability to implement, configure and support it for a fire authority. Strong candidates will be able to translate operational requirements into a working system, respond clearly to scored quality questions and demonstrate the solution remotely over Teams using the buyer’s scenarios. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, so suppliers need evidence of a practical, usable solution and a credible implementation approach, as well as a convincing social value offer. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist technology firms as well as larger suppliers. Businesses should be comfortable with a structured two-stage selection and demonstration process.
