Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Fire Authority procured support and maintenance services for station-end mobilising equipment. The requirement concerns information technology equipment, including information systems and servers, used to support fire and emergency-service mobilisation at station locations. The buying organisation is Cheshire Fire Authority, based at its headquarters and training centre in Winsford, Cheshire. The procurement was conducted as a further competition under a framework led by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, indicating that the work formed part of an established public-sector purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone open market exercise. The service category is specialist maintenance and technical support for operational station systems, rather than general facilities maintenance or supply of new equipment.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. It used a limited procedure under a framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The requirement was treated as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled in the tender information; the associated award and contract are active. Telent Technology Services Limited was selected, with the award recorded against the maintenance requirement. The contract was signed on 3 March 2026 and is valued at £220,000. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was received, submitted electronically. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and used the framework route outside the relevant directive’s scope.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to maintain station-end mobilisation technology and the associated information systems and servers used by a fire authority. Relevant capability would include diagnosing faults in operational IT equipment, carrying out planned and reactive maintenance, supporting resilient station communications and mobilisation workflows, and keeping services available across multiple emergency-service locations. Suppliers would need practical experience of working in safety-critical public-sector environments, with the technical capacity to provide dependable support rather than one-off repairs. The award also indicates that the buyer accepted a focused specialist offer evaluated on price, so competitors would need a clear cost model alongside evidence of suitably skilled engineers, service responsiveness and experience maintaining comparable operational systems.
