This procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the context of command, control, and communication systems. The tender process is open and will remain active until the deadline for submissions on 3rd December 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 10th January 2022 and conclude on 31st March 2022. Consultancy firms with expertise in telecommunications and project management are encouraged to apply, given the focus on improving Fire Control call handling and mobilising strategies in the North East of England. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that specialise in consultancy services. Companies with experience in technical analysis, business analysis, or project management consultancy are well-suited to compete for this contract, as the Cleveland Fire Authority seeks independent assessment of collaborative strategic options for enhanced efficiency. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to fruitful partnerships and expansion opportunities within the public sector. ## Notice The Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004, Part 2 Sections 7(2)(c), 8(2)(c) and 9(3)(c), places a duty on Fire and Rescue Authorities to make arrangements for dealing with calls for help and summoning personnel. There are various models which can be adopted to fulfil these call handling obligations. Traditionally, Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) have operated their own Control Rooms. However, since the collapse of the Government's Regional Fire Control Centres project in 2010 and more recently the introduction of the Police and Crime Act 2017 duty to keep collaboration opportunities under review in the interests of efficiency and effectiveness, many FRS have now strategically joined up with others to provide joint Fire Control functions Cleveland Fire Authority and County Durham and Darlington FRS have together identified a number of strategic collaborative options to be explored for Fire Control call handing and mobilising. Independent consultancy is now required to appraise the viability of these strategic options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6db25a61-c848-4418-a320-a5f317919369 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 3 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CLEVELAND FIRE AUTHORITY | | Locality | HARTLEPOOL | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS25 5TH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC31 Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees | | Local authority | Hartlepool | | Electoral ward | Fens & Greatham | | Westminster constituency | Hartlepool | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 35711000 - Command, control, communication systems - 71316000 - Telecommunication consultancy services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2021 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6db25a61-c848-4418-a320-a5f317919369 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6db25a61-c848-4418-a320-a5f317919369 1st November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=40332&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/85799 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.clevelandfire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
