## Summary

The East Sussex Fire Authority is conducting a procurement process for the purchase of Aerial Ladder Platforms under a mini-competition framework. The tender is currently in the award stage and involves the procurement of two vehicles, with the potential for a third as a contingency. The total value of this contract is £2,600,000, with a minimum requirement of £700,000. The contract period will span from 1st August 2021 to 31st July 2026, and delivery is expected to occur in the financial years 2023/24 and 2027/28. This procurement falls under the industry category of emergency services vehicles and is based in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in emergency services vehicles and related equipment. Companies that have previously been approved for Lot 6 of the DS183-15 framework are eligible to compete, making it an ideal project for established suppliers in the fire-fighting and emergency equipment sector. Given the scale of the contract and the long-term nature of the delivery, this could be a lucrative opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers of firefighting vehicles, emergency equipment, and related services looking to expand their market presence and establish a relationship with a local authority.

## 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.
