UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council, through Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service, is seeking building and specialist repair contractors for the Breathing Apparatus Training Facility at Pegswood Community Fire Station in Northumberland. The requirement covers inspection, cleaning, repair and refurbishment of the facility used for breathing apparatus training. It is a works contract involving construction and associated repair activity rather than the supply of standalone equipment. The work is intended to restore and improve the training facility so it can support the Fire & Rescue Service’s operational training needs. Contractors should be able to undertake inspection and remedial works in a fire-station environment, coordinate the different elements of the refurbishment, and deliver the completed works at the Pegswood site.

The process reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit quotations through a below-threshold open competition. The contract is valued at £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. Bids were due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 14 September 2026 to 25 October 2026. There is one lot covering the full requirement. The quotation will be evaluated on a 60% quality and 40% price basis, so suppliers must demonstrate both a credible delivery approach and competitive pricing. Electronic submission is allowed. The opportunity is below the relevant threshold and is being run as an open competition, allowing suitably qualified contractors to submit an offer without a separate shortlisting stage.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established building and specialist facilities contractors with relevant repair and refurbishment experience. Strong candidates will be able to inspect an existing breathing apparatus training facility, identify defects or deterioration, carry out cleaning and remedial repairs, and complete refurbishment works to an appropriate standard. Experience working in operational fire-station, emergency-service or other safety-critical environments would help suppliers manage access, site coordination and the consequences of disruption, although the requirement specifically identifies suitability and experience rather than a named accreditation. Contractors should have enough practical capacity to complete the full scope within the stated contract period and should present a clear, quality-focused method of delivery, since quality carries greater evaluation weight than price.
