This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services, with an estimated contract value of £500,000. The tender is currently in the open stage, and submissions must be received by the deadline of 31st May 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 8th July 2022 and will extend until 30th June 2026. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in maintenance services for emergency equipment, particularly those familiar with working alongside fire and rescue services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the buying organisation values their participation. Companies equipped to manage third-party maintenance and capable of preventative servicing will find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this tender will allow successful bidders to support the operational efficiency and reliability of vital fire service mobilization equipment across the North West region. ## Notice Four North West Fire and Rescue Services (Greater Manchester FRS, Cheshire FRS, Cumbria FRS and Lancashire FRS) operate from a combined North West Fire Control room (NWFC) at Lingley Mere, Warrington. NWFC mobilise on behalf of the four FRS. It should be noted that the NWFC contract is not within the scope of this document and therefore this contract relates to the mobilising message once it "clears" the firewall at NWFC, any mobilising faults on the NWFC side will be diagnosed and resolved by the NWFC contractor. In addition to this if the site is a shared site with other emergency services or stakeholders then these partners and their associated equipment are not in scope. Only Fire Service equipment is to be supported and maintained by this contract. It is envisaged that the successful tenderer will manage the mobilising message across the FRS networks to receipt and successful mobilisation at station end. The successful bidder will be expected to manage any third party faults such as network failures in resolving any incidents. Each FRS has provided a list of equipment that they wish to be maintained with an option for preventative maintenance. These are included within the documentation available via the Chest/Due North portal (https://www.the-chest.org.uk/). It is envisaged (but not confirmed) that the following FRS's will be utilising this contract; * Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service * Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service * Cumbria County Council * Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service. Cumbria is currently undergoing a local government reorganisation and the Government has announced that Cumbria County Council is to be replaced by two unitary authorities with effect from 1 April 2023. This Contract is for use by Contracting Authorities identified in the contract notice and any body (or bodies) which may succeed those Contracting Authorities in substantially performing fire and rescue functions. Cumbria County Council shall be entitled to transfer its rights and obligations under the Contract to any such successor. *******Further information and instructions on how to submit a tender for this opportunity can be found on GMCA's E Procurement Portal The Chest, https://www.the-chest.org.uk/******* ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10a5cf7f-b349-4f8f-82b2-0223e057e359 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 31 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Jul 2022 - 30 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 28 Apr 2022 at 11:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10a5cf7f-b349-4f8f-82b2-0223e057e359 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10a5cf7f-b349-4f8f-82b2-0223e057e359 28th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/******* ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
