## Summary

The County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service is seeking tenders for the "Remodelling of Bowburn Training Centre," a construction project focused on updating facilities related to emergency services. This project falls under the construction works category and is set in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline of 11th May 2020. The estimated value of the contract is £350,000, using a selective procurement method and requiring compliance with the restricted procedure as it exceeds the threshold for such contracts.

This tender presents an opportunity for construction firms and contractors with expertise in emergency service facilities refurbishment and building modifications. Businesses that specialise in similar projects and those that are registered as SMEs may find this particularly suitable for growth and expansion, as they could leverage their skills in responding to the specific needs of the fire service. The contract spans from October 2020 to April 2021, offering a window for sustained engagement with the contracting authority throughout the execution of the project.

## Notice

The existing Fire Training Centre was completed in 2015. Since then operational ways of working have changed resulting in a requirement to reconfigure and extend some of the spaces. A series of rooms dealing with decontamination of fire kit is proposed in part of the ground floor, new shower and locker facilities are proposed above this area.
