UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority is planning a framework for electrical contractors, on behalf of itself and the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys Police. The work covers electrical installation, electrical maintenance, portable appliance testing (PAT) and fixed-wire testing at service locations, including on-call fire stations, wholetime fire stations and support assets. The planned coverage is divided geographically across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Powys, Neath Port Talbot and Swansea. This is electrical installation and maintenance work, classified under CPV 45310000. It is relevant to contractors able to provide compliant electrical inspection, testing, repair and installation services across fire and police operational premises and associated support facilities in these areas.

This procurement is at the planning stage and sets out an intention to establish a framework; it is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects a further notice on 5 October 2026. Planned supplier engagement includes an in-person event at Service Headquarters, Carmarthen, on 23 September 2026 from 14:00 to 16:00, with an online Microsoft Teams event on 25 September 2026 from 10:00 to 12:00. The framework is expected to have six geographical lots. Suppliers may submit tenders for a maximum of two lots, with up to three suppliers appointed to each. The stated estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. Lot 1 is planned for 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with possible renewal to 31 January 2031.

The work should suit electrical contractors with the operational capacity to deliver installation, planned and reactive maintenance, PAT and fixed-wire testing across geographically distributed public-service sites. Firms should be prepared to demonstrate competent personnel, suitable testing and installation capability, and experience working safely in fire, police or similarly operational premises where continuity, compliance and reliable reporting matter. The six-lot structure creates a route for regional specialists, while the stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller organisations may be well placed to prepare. Contractors should consider which two geographical areas they can resource effectively, build evidence of relevant electrical testing and maintenance work, and attend the planned engagement to understand the authority’s requirements before the framework reaches the market.
