## Summary

The East Sussex Fire Authority is currently conducting a tender for the "Purchase Of Pumping Appliances," aimed at enhancing their fleet of specialist emergency vehicles. This procurement, classified under the goods category, will primarily involve the purchase of minimum three pumping appliances each year for a three-year period running from July 2021 to June 2026, depending on available funding. The tender submission deadline is set for 30th March 2021, with a total estimated value of £5,000,000, attracting pre-approved suppliers under framework DS183-15.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying specialist vehicles, particularly those experienced in emergency and firefighting vehicles. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that meet the tender's criteria can benefit from the potential to supply multiple vehicles over the contract’s duration, with the possibility of additional orders if required. Companies capable of demonstrating compliance with pre-qualification requirements will be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.

## Notice

This is a mini competition run under framework DS183 -15 and is only open to pre-approved suppliers. The intention is that ESFRS will continue to replace a minimum of 3 of the existing pumping appliance fleet each year over the three financial years this contract will cover - 23/24 to 25/26. The number to be ordered is dependent on funding being available when required. This number is therefore not guaranteed but equally the number may be increased in any particular year if more vehicles are required. If the extension period of this contract is requested and agreed, we may order up to an additional 6 vehicles during this period.
