Procurement Information

Despite best efforts and additional methods SFRS only received 5 bids in response to the open tender exercise. One of these was late and was rejected, two were non-compliant and two were compliant. Unfortunately only 6 lots out of the 26 original lots were covered by the 2 compliant bids. SFRS still requires these areas to be covered by at least one supplier.
