## Summary

The procurement process involves the West Midlands Fire Service seeking bids for the erection of a training pylon at Bickenhill Fire Station, with an estimated contract value of £42,484. Classed under the construction work category, this tender is in the Award stage as of 27 September 2017, following its completion on 18 September 2017. The project is to commence on 16 October 2017 and is expected to be completed by 30 November 2017. The procurement method employed was a limited process through competitive quotations below threshold.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the construction sector to expand their business. Companies with expertise in construction, specifically those experienced in foundational works and installation of safety systems, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts, particularly given the importance and safety regulations associated with fire service facilities.

## Notice

The works consist of the construction of a reinforced concrete raft foundation. Once the pad is in place the training pylon will be erected on the pad. After the pylon has been erected the pylon is to be fitted with a lifeline system and lightning protection. The location of the works is: Bickenhill Fire Station Northway, NEC, Bickenhill B40 1PW
