The scope is governed by fire safety, health and safety, environmental protection and hazardous waste legislation, alongside standards for commissioning and maintaining portable extinguishers, including cartridge-operated types where applicable. Updated or replacement standards introduced during the contract are also to apply. The listed work is associated with the United Kingdom; the procurement gives no more specific delivery location. This is a specialist fire-safety maintenance service, rather than a purchase of firefighting equipment. Suppliers should be able to inspect, service and maintain portable extinguishers in line with the relevant statutory requirements and technical standards. The process is at planning: Cornwall Council has stated an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The anticipated procedure details are not described. The planned contract period is from 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2029. The estimated procurement value is £45,000. The budget is set out as £15,000 for each of the financial years 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29. The buyer expected a further notice on 30 September 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a response deadline. The procurement is not divided into lots in the published plan. No evaluation criteria or participation requirements are set out at this stage. This work is likely to suit specialist fire-protection contractors with the capability to service and maintain portable fire extinguishers, including cartridge-operated models where applicable. Suppliers should be prepared to work to BS 5306-3 for commissioning and maintenance, the BS EN 3 series, and BS 6643 where relevant, while keeping up with updated or replacement standards during the contract. Compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, health and safety legislation, environmental protection rules and hazardous waste requirements is central to delivery. Cornwall Council has indicated that the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller providers in this field may be well placed to prepare. The plan does not yet set out specific experience, accreditation or capacity thresholds. ## Notice Relevant legislation and standards include: Legislation * Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 * Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 * Environmental Protection Act 1990 * Hazardous Waste Regulations (as amended) Standards * BS 5306-3: Commissioning and Maintenance of Portable Fire Extinguishers * BS EN 3 Series: Portable Fire Extinguishers * BS 6643 Series: Cartridge Operated Portable Fire Extinguishers (where applicable) * Any updated or replacement standards introduced during the contract term shall apply automatically. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d46e05e-509b-4ccc-852d-72b28f36c126 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Oct 2026 - 5 Oct 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Cornwall Council | | Locality | TRURO | | Postcode area | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35000000 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ## Release History - 29 Sep 2026 at 12:30 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d46e05e-509b-4ccc-852d-72b28f36c126 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d46e05e-509b-4ccc-852d-72b28f36c126 29th September 2026 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
