Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process for the provision of timber needed for operational and training purposes, with the contract valued at £650,000. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically involving timber and related products. The tender is executed using an open procedure, and it targets several service delivery areas within the UK, primarily in the region identified as UKM. Interested suppliers should note that electronic submissions are required, with the tender period ending on 24th August 2026, and bid validity extending until 22nd December 2026. The procurement includes various lots, each with a detailed specification, and allows a maximum of six lots per supplier, highlighting a focus on both quality and price in the award criteria.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the timber supply industry to expand their market reach, especially those with experience or capability in meeting the operational demands of public safety organisations. Companies that can confidently supply quality timber and related products electronically are well-positioned to compete effectively in this open procurement procedure. Additionally, with a primary focus on quality and competitive pricing, suppliers that excel in these areas stand to benefit greatly by securing long-term contracts, potentially extending up to five years, through renewal options. Small to medium-sized enterprises that are agile and can meet the delivery specifications and timelines will find this an attractive opportunity to establish or strengthen relationships with a key public sector body like the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

The SFRS is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sherriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the SFRS, they suffer or risk suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the SFRS must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of: or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations."
