Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council, through Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service, is procuring repair works at the Breathing Apparatus Training Facility at Pegswood Community Fire Station. The requirement covers inspection, cleaning, repair and refurbishment of the facility. This is a construction and building-repair opportunity, including construction-related works and materials. The work is to be delivered at Pegswood in Northumberland for the council’s fire and rescue service. It may suit contractors able to undertake specialist repair and refurbishment work in an operational fire-station environment, particularly those with relevant experience of breathing-apparatus training facilities or comparable fire-service buildings. The procurement is a single package covering the complete requirement rather than separate workstreams.

The process reached tender: the council invited contractors to submit quotations through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 22 July 2026 at 3:00pm, and the quotation deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is 24 August to 5 October 2026. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. Bids may be submitted electronically. The quotation will be evaluated on 60% quality and 40% price, so suppliers will need to demonstrate a strong delivery approach as well as competitive pricing. The opportunity is identified as a works procurement and has been extended to close at the stated August deadline.

This opportunity suits suitably qualified and experienced building, repair or refurbishment contractors with the capacity to complete a defined works package within a short delivery period. Relevant capability includes inspecting facilities, cleaning specialist areas, carrying out repairs and delivering refurbishment works safely and to the required quality standard. Experience working in fire stations, emergency-service premises, industrial training facilities or other buildings with specialist operational requirements would be useful. Suppliers should be able to plan and manage the work, coordinate activities on site and provide evidence that their proposed solution meets the requirement. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening its potential fit for smaller or mission-led contractors with the necessary competence.
