Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is initiating a tender for the "Fire Engineering Consultancy Framework Agreement" aimed at establishing a framework for the provision of Fire Engineering Consultancy Services. This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 30th September 2019. The scope of services will primarily serve the Building Standards Division of Fife Council, and interested parties should be aware of the minimum requirements stipulated for participating bidders. The selective procurement method used indicates a restricted procedure, which will invite a limited number of candidates to participate based on pre-defined criteria.

Firms with a track record in similar consultancy projects or those possessing relevant qualifications are best positioned to compete. By secure contract participation, businesses can enhance their profiles, expand their client base, and potentially gain long-term contractual stability through the framework agreement, which may include options for renewal.
