Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is buying timber and timber products, including wood and plywood, for operational and training requirements. The scope covers timber for Compartment Fire Behaviour units and other operational and training uses. The requirement is divided between the North, East and West Service Delivery Areas, with separate requirements for Compartment Fire Behaviour timber and other timber in each area. Delivery is in Scotland. This is a goods contract for a supplier able to provide the specified timber products for fire and rescue service operations and training activities. The buying organisation is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, based at its headquarters in Cambuslang. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and has a timber classification (CPV 03419000).

The procurement has reached tender: the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 24 August 2026 at 12:00, when bids are also due to be opened and the award period begins. Bids must remain valid until 22 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The estimated total value is £650,000. There are six lots: Compartment Fire Behaviour timber and other operational and training timber, each split across North, East and West Service Delivery Areas. Suppliers may bid for up to six lots. Each lot has an initial 1,080-day contract period, with two optional one-year extensions, giving a potential five-year period. Quality accounts for 40% and price 60%; variants are not allowed.

This opportunity suits timber merchants, wood-product suppliers and distributors with the stock, sourcing arrangements and delivery capacity to serve operational and training requirements across Scotland. Relevant products include general timber, timber products, wood and plywood, with particular relevance to suppliers familiar with materials used for Compartment Fire Behaviour training units. The six-lot structure allows businesses to target one or more service delivery areas and product requirements, while suppliers can bid for all six lots. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate supplier suitability against the procurement and selection documentation, including the stated economic and technical selection requirements. The contract supports electronic ordering, electronic payment and permitted electronic invoicing, which may suit established suppliers with integrated ordering, fulfilment and invoicing systems.
