## Summary

The British Consulate General in San Francisco is currently conducting a procurement process titled "Generator Procurement & Maintenance." This project falls under the services category, focussing on the installation of an emergency generator capable of sustaining essential appliances for up to five days during power outages. The procurement stage is in the Tender phase, with submissions due by 23rd March 2018. The contract is set to begin on 1st April 2018 and will last for one year. The estimated value of the contract is between £10,000 and £25,000, with competitive quotations being sought due to the limited procurement method.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in emergency power solutions and maintenance services. Companies that can fulfil the requirements, such as adhering to environmental standards and demonstrating a reliable maintenance schedule, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The ability to respond swiftly to maintenance requests will also be a critical factor, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses with established capabilities in generator supply and support services.

## Notice

We require a generator capable of running essential appliances and lighting in a five bedroom home owned by the British Government. The generator should be able to run continually for up to five days in the event of a widespread, persistent power outage. The generator should meet or exceed environmental standards. For service issues, the successful bidder will need to commit to quarterly preventative maintenance and be available within 24 hours for emergency maintenance, or 72 hours for urgent, non-emergency maintenance. Please describe how you will meet these minimum requirements.
