UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority is buying all-terrain vehicles for fire and rescue service use. The requirement covers specialist off-road, four-wheel-drive vehicles, with an initial purchase of four vehicles and the ability to buy additional vehicles during the agreement. Delivery is intended across the Authority’s operational area in Mid and West Wales. This is a goods procurement for a supplier able to provide suitable all-terrain vehicles as a quality contractor. The Authority is based in Carmarthen and is the organisation responsible for the purchase. The specification and tender documents set out the required vehicle standards, supply arrangements and other technical requirements for the vehicles.

The procurement has reached tender: the Authority invited offers through an open procedure. Suppliers could submit electronic tenders in English or Welsh. Enquiries had to be submitted by 12 October 2026 at 5pm, and tenders by 19 October 2026 at noon. The contract is due to run from 4 December 2026 to 3 December 2028, with an option to extend by four years in two-year intervals, up to 3 December 2032. Its estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. The award decision is due by 17 November 2026. Evaluation is based on technical and quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits vehicle manufacturers, specialist vehicle dealers and other suppliers with the capability to provide all-terrain, off-road and four-wheel-drive vehicles to a public fire and rescue service. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should be able to meet the technical and quality requirements in the specification, support an initial supply of four vehicles and accommodate further purchases during the agreement. Competition will place greater emphasis on technical and quality performance than on price alone, while social value forms part of the assessment. Businesses able to demonstrate a reliable supply capability and respond to the Welsh procurement and language requirements are well placed to consider bidding.
