## Summary

The Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Essex Fire Authority is currently conducting a public procurement process titled "GB-Essex: 2021/476 Various Fire Stations - Installation of Fire alarms". This project is in the Tender stage and involves the installation of non-wired fire alarms at various fire stations across the East of England, with a key deadline for tender submissions set for 7th December 2020. The total contract value is estimated at £500,000, and the work is classified under the CPV code for burglar and fire alarms. The contract is scheduled to commence on 22nd February 2021 and conclude by 31st March 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fire safety systems and installation services. The nature of the project requires contractors who can respond swiftly to emergency situations, given that the ‘On-call’ fire stations will need to maintain operational readiness. Businesses with experience in similar installations or those holding relevant certifications in fire safety would be well-suited to compete for this contract, thus enhancing their market presence and contributing to local safety efforts.

## Notice

Installation of new non-wired Fire Alarms to 'On-Call' Fire Stations to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service Premises. With the exception of Great Baddow Fire Station which is manned from 0900-1800, all remaining fire stations included within the scope are 'On-call' Fire stations. On call stations are un-crewed until they have a fire call, then they have minutes to arrive, get ready and leave on an appliance. The successful contractor will have to allow for a call out situation and must not impede the appliance from exiting the station. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
