UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Authority is buying command and control hardware to support its existing command and control solution. The requirement is for computer equipment and supplies, including operator workstations, display and monitoring equipment, network infrastructure, storage, power protection and associated peripherals. This is a goods supply opportunity rather than a service or construction contract. The equipment will support the Fire and Rescue Service’s operational command and control capability and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Businesses supplying integrated control-room or operational technology hardware, and those able to provide the full range of associated equipment, should consider this opportunity. The buyer is the fire and rescue authority serving County Durham and Darlington, based in Durham.

The process has reached tender: the Authority invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot Request for Quotations, with an estimated value of £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Clarification questions were due by 1 September 2026 at 12 noon, and quotations were due by 8 September 2026 at 12 noon. The contract period is 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2027. Quotations are to be submitted by email, and electronic submission is not permitted through a tendering portal. The award will be based on the most advantageous solution offered to the Authority, with requirements set out in the attached specification. No site visits or individual meetings form part of the process.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses: the lot is expressly identified as suitable for SMEs. It is commercially relevant to suppliers of command-and-control, control-room, emergency-services or operational technology hardware, particularly businesses able to combine workstations, displays, monitoring equipment, networking, storage, power protection and peripherals into a compatible solution. Suppliers should be able to understand an existing command and control environment, select suitable equipment across several hardware categories and provide a coordinated package rather than an isolated product. The requirement is likely to favour businesses with broad hardware supply capability, systems integration experience and the capacity to deliver and support equipment for a public fire and rescue organisation over the contract period. The specification should be checked carefully against the proposed solution.
