OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is procuring the supply, testing and maintenance of garage equipment for four Asset Resource Centres in Cambuslang, Dundee, Inverness and Newbridge. The equipment supports the servicing of approximately 1,600 emergency and support vehicles, including fire appliances, rapid response units, platforms and specialist rescue vehicles. The requirement covers equipment used to maintain fleet safety, reliability and operational readiness in line with legislative and manufacturer standards. The Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland may also use the resulting contract, subject to their own governance and approval. This is a goods procurement, classified under CPV 43800000 for workshop equipment.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It comprises one lot and has an estimated value of £361,486. The contract is intended to run from November 2026 to November 2029, with an option to extend by up to two further 12-month periods. Offers were due by 17 September 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to open. Bids must remain valid until 15 January 2027. Evaluation includes price, stated as 40, and quality for mobilisation and asset-register setup, stated as 10. Variants are not permitted. The contract includes renewal and subcontracting provisions.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide, test, calibrate and maintain garage or workshop equipment used in demanding fleet-maintenance environments. Relevant experience includes supporting large, operational vehicle fleets and ensuring equipment remains safe, reliable and compliant with legislative and manufacturer requirements. Suppliers must confirm membership of the Garage Equipment Association or an equivalent recognised industry body relevant to their country of establishment. They must also provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the contract, so businesses need suitable technically qualified personnel and the capacity to cover four Scottish service centres. The requirement is particularly relevant to established garage-equipment specialists able to mobilise an asset register and provide continuing maintenance support.
