OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is buying timber for operational and training requirements across Scotland. The requirement covers timber for Compartment Fire Behaviour (CFB) units and other operational and training uses. It is divided between the North, East and West Service Delivery Areas, with separate opportunities for CFB Unit Timber and for other operational and training timber in each area. This is a goods contract for businesses supplying timber, with delivery supporting fire service operations and training activities across these Scottish service areas. The buyer is headquartered in Cambuslang. The main classification is 03419000, covering timber. Suppliers may consider individual regional requirements or the full Scotland-wide opportunity, subject to the tender’s suitability requirements and procurement documentation.

The procurement reached tender: the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It comprises six lots, and a supplier may bid for up to all six; variants are not allowed. The total estimated value is £650,000 GBP. The deadline for tender submissions and the scheduled bid opening was 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period for each lot is 1,080 days, with two optional one-year extensions, giving a potential total period of five years. Bids must remain valid until 22 December 2026. Evaluation for every lot is based on 40% quality and 60% price. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, and bids must be submitted in English.

This opportunity suits established timber merchants, forestry-product suppliers and distributors able to provide timber consistently for fire service operational and training use across Scotland. The six-lot structure allows suppliers to target one or more Service Delivery Areas, while the buyer permits bids for all six lots. Strong supply capacity, dependable regional delivery and the ability to support both Compartment Fire Behaviour training and other operational requirements will be commercially relevant. Competitors should be prepared to demonstrate suitability through the SPD and procurement documentation, meet the stated quality requirements and price their offer competitively, since quality contributes 40% of the evaluation and price 60%. The requirement is suited to businesses able to manage a multi-year supply arrangement and optional extensions.
