PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring a laser equipment repair and maintenance service for schools across Fife, Scotland. The requirement covers annual servicing of laser cutters and other laser equipment, ad hoc repairs and a call-out repair service. The purpose is to support Education Directorate work while minimising risks to equipment users. This is a public-sector services contract for businesses that maintain, diagnose and repair laser equipment in school settings. The council is also acting as a central purchasing body. Work is delivered across Fife rather than at a single named site. The scope is focused on keeping existing laser equipment operational through planned servicing and responsive repairs, so suppliers should be equipped to handle both scheduled maintenance and unplanned breakdowns.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 24 September 2026 at 17:00, with bids opened at that time by two procurement officers. The estimated contract value is £40,000, covering one lot. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an optional extension of up to 12 months. Fife Council may also require additional purchases in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Bids must be submitted electronically in English, and variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 180 days after the submission deadline. The contract uses electronic ordering and allows electronic invoicing, with electronic payment available.

This opportunity suits a specialist laser equipment maintenance provider able to service and repair equipment used in schools. The work calls for a dependable planned-maintenance capability alongside responsive fault diagnosis and call-out repairs, so suppliers need sufficient technical resource and geographic coverage to support sites across Fife. Businesses with experience maintaining laser cutters or comparable laser equipment in education, workshop or other operational environments are likely to be well placed to compete. The requirement also suits organisations able to manage scheduled servicing, unplanned breakdowns and additional authorised purchases under one service arrangement. Suppliers must be able to prepare an English-language electronic tender, comply with the stated no-variant requirement and provide the community benefits set out in the tender documents.
