## Summary

Cheshire Constabulary, on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, is seeking to procure services for the maintenance of interactive features, lighting, and audio-visual equipment at the Safety Centre in Lymm, Cheshire. The project is classified under the "Repair and maintenance services" industry and employs an open procurement method. The contract, aiming for a total value of £100,000, commenced on 1st October 2020 and will conclude on 30th September 2023. The tender period ended on 28th August 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and repair services, particularly those focusing on audio-visual technology and interactive installations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should find these lots appealing, as the tender is structured to encourage competitive bids from varying business scales, particularly entities experienced in maintaining safety educational facilities and similar environments.

## Notice

Safety Centre is Cheshire Fire Authority's safety and lifeskills education centre, located in Lymm just outside Warrington. We offer a number of learning programmes to teach schools and community groups ways of staying safe at home, online, on the roads and whilst out and about. Our visitors 'learn about safety by experiencing risk' (LASER), a methodology advocated by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and academically proven to encourage safer decision-making. Learning takes place in four themed zones, carefully designed to be realistic and simulate a host of hazards that visitors might experience in different environments. Paragon Creative designed and installed many of the centre's interactive and scenic features. Piranha Creative provided audio-visual installation in our meeting and conference spaces. Paragon have since installed one or two other interactive features in the learning zones. Paragon have also provided maintenance services for their installations by means of a monthly service visit, emergency call out arrangement and annual deep clean. Unfortunately, the company ceased trading in summer 2019. Some of their former technicians, who designed many of the features, have provided ad hoc maintenance and repair visits in the interim. Piranha Creative currently provide an emergency call out and repair service for the equipment they installed. General daily cleaning of non-interactive spaces is provided by Cheshire Fire Authority's cleaning contractor. Cheshire Fire Authority are seeking to award a contract to a company or companies in two separate lots, reflecting our operational need: 1. to maintain and repair interactive features, lighting and scenery; and 2. to maintain and repair audio-visual equipment. Our requirements are set out in detail in the Specification attached as a Word document to this ITT.
