## Summary

The East Sussex Fire Authority is currently soliciting tenders for the purchase of Aerial Ladder Platforms as part of a mini-competition under Lot 6 of the DS183-15 framework. This procurement falls under the category of emergency service vehicles and is aimed at enhancing the local firefighting capabilities. The contract, valued at approximately £2,600,000, is set for a term of five years, with plans to deliver two vehicles in the financial years 2023/24 and 2027/28. The tender will close on 30th March 2021, and the first vehicle's funding has already been secured for the initial phase of the project.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the manufacturing and supply sectors of emergency service vehicles. Companies specialising in firefighting and rescue equipment, particularly SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), stand to benefit greatly from this contract. The ability to meet the specific requirements of the East Sussex Fire Authority, including compliance with safety and operational standards, will be crucial for businesses looking to compete successfully for this contract.

## Notice

This tender is being run as a mini-competition under Lot 6 of the DS183-15 framework and is only open to those pre-approved suppliers on that Lot. The contract term will be for 5 years and cover the currently planned purchase of two vehicles for delivery in the financial years of 23/24 and 27/28 along with scope for a third, as a contingency against the unexpected loss or unrepairable damage to a current vehicle. This is based on our rolling programme of replacement as vehicles approach their projected end of life dates. No vehicle is guaranteed, as they are all dependant on funding being granted at the appropriate time. Funding has been agreed for the first vehicle planned for financial year 23/24 and is scoped for the second.
