This procurement falls within the goods category, particularly focused on the detection apparatus industry. The tender was published on 29 November 2017, with a submission deadline set for 5 January 2018. The awarded contract is expected to commence on 1 March 2018 and will span four years, concluding on 28 February 2022. The procurement method is classified as an open procedure, allowing for broader competition. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in safety technology and emergency equipment. Companies offering gas detection monitors and related products would be particularly suited to participate, especially those that can demonstrate technical expertise and financial stability. This procurement allows for direct access to the UK Fire and Rescue Services, Ambulance Trusts, and Police Forces, fostering potential growth and long-term partnerships for successful bidders in the public sector. ## Notice West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority (the Authority) are establishing a framework agreement for the supply of Gas Detection Monitors and associated products for a period of four years. The framework could be accessed by UK Fire and Rescue Services, Ambulance Trusts and Police Forces (and their successors) through direct call off orders. This single-supplier Framework Agreement is for the supply of Gas Detection Monitors and Associate Products to include but not limited to single channel monitors to detect Oxygen or Hydrogen Cyanide, four channel monitors to detect Explosive environments (LEL), Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulphide and five channel monitors to detect Explosive environments (LEL), Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulphide and Hydrogen Cyanide. In addition to the call-off orders that will be placed over the four year framework period there are initial requirements identified in the tender documentation that would be ordered immediately upon award. The Framework Agreement will not be divided into "Lots" due to the desire for all three Emergency Services to standardise specifications thereby utilising the same training and operational methods. Economic Operators must be experienced in this field and be able to demonstrate their technical competence. Economic Operators should also have or be prepared to obtain PS5m public and PS5m products liability, PS5m employer's liability and be able to prove their financial stability. Economic Operators that cannot meet the requested turnover of PS1,700,000 must be able to provide a guarantee from either a parent company or bank, failure to demonstrate this will result in a bid being rejected. Contract award is expected to be February 2018 with a go live date of 1st March 2018 (subject to contract signing). Economic Operators are asked to carefully consider whether they can meet the mandatory requirements and whether they could potentially provide an ongoing supply of gas monitors. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42f5e96e-cf2f-4354-8440-4c75c607b46e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2018 - 28 Feb 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | 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 | WEST MIDLANDS FIRE AND RESCUE AUTHORITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B7 4HW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38431000 - Detection apparatus - 38431100 - Gas-detection apparatus ## Release History - 29 Nov 2017 at 23:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42f5e96e-cf2f-4354-8440-4c75c607b46e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42f5e96e-cf2f-4354-8440-4c75c607b46e 29th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=22424&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/34952 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.wmfs.net ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
