UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority intends to buy six-seater all-terrain vehicles with rear load beds for its operational needs. The initial requirement is for four vehicles, with the possibility of further purchases during the agreement. This is a vehicle supply contract covering specialist, off-road and four-wheel-drive vehicles (CPV 34114000). The vehicles will support fire and rescue activity in the authority’s service area across Mid and West Wales. The detailed technical specification will be set out in the future tender documents. This is a goods procurement rather than a vehicle maintenance, consultancy or construction requirement, so it is most relevant to manufacturers, authorised dealers, specialist vehicle distributors and fleet suppliers able to provide robust all-terrain vehicles for public-sector emergency services.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is a preliminary market engagement exercise; it is not an invitation to tender. The authority expects to use an open tender procedure, with the tender advertised in September 2026 and a future notice currently expected on 18 September 2026. One lot is planned, and the anticipated contract period is 4 December 2026 to 3 December 2028, with a renewal option extending the maximum period to 3 December 2032. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. The authority plans an online supplier information event on Microsoft Teams on 15 September 2026, from 10:00 to 10:45, covering the procurement and tender submission process and allowing questions.

The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making this relevant to smaller vehicle manufacturers, specialist off-road vehicle businesses, authorised dealers and commercial fleet suppliers. Suppliers should prepare to demonstrate that they can supply six-seater all-terrain vehicles with rear load beds to a detailed specification, meet the operational demands of a fire and rescue service, and support an initial delivery of four vehicles with possible additional orders during the agreement. Businesses with established public-sector fleet supply experience, reliable vehicle sourcing and distribution arrangements, and the capacity to support vehicles throughout a multi-year agreement are likely to be well placed when the tender reaches the market. The planned supplier event provides an opportunity to understand the requirement and submission process in advance.
