Summary of the contracting process

Avon Fire Authority is procuring works to demolish and rebuild the washdown canopy at Yate Fire Station. The requirement is a building construction project, covering the replacement of the existing canopy in accordance with the technical specification. The work is for Avon Fire and Rescue Service and will be delivered at Yate Fire Station. The buying organisation is Avon Fire Authority, a public authority based in Portishead. Businesses should consider this opportunity if they undertake construction works involving the removal of an existing structure and construction of a replacement canopy for an operational fire station. The specification sets the detailed requirements for the demolition and rebuild, so interested contractors will need to assess the site and technical documents before deciding whether the project matches their construction and project-delivery capability.

The process reached tender: Avon Fire Authority invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 12:00 on 12 October 2026, and the deadline for bids was 12:00 on 19 October 2026. The planned contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 1 July 2027. The published overall gross value is £0, while the single lot is recorded with a gross value of 0 AED. Bids are evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality. The requirement is one lot covering the washdown canopy works. Electronic submission is allowed, with bids submitted through the buyer’s electronic tendering portal. The exercise is below the relevant threshold and uses an open procedure.

This opportunity suits building contractors able to manage a complete small construction project, including demolition of an existing washdown canopy, construction of its replacement and coordination of the work at a fire station. Relevant suppliers are likely to be firms with practical experience in structural or building construction, site preparation, safe removal of existing structures and delivery of replacement external facilities. The work may suit contractors with the in-house trades, project management and site supervision needed to deliver construction works against a detailed specification. Businesses should be able to demonstrate how their proposed solution meets the quality requirements, since quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation. Contractors with suitable construction capacity and experience of working safely around operational public-service premises are well placed to assess the requirement.
