## Summary

The Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is currently undertaking a tender for the "Rescue Pump Fire Engineering Electrical Upgrade," aimed at addressing electrical upgrades for three Scania firefighting appliances built in 2009. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on electrical equipment for vehicles and related repair services. The tender period is set to conclude on 26th May 2017, with a minimum value of £85,000 and an estimated total value of £90,000. The location for service delivery encompasses multiple regions, including the UK and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in electrical engineering, vehicle repair, and firefighting equipment to engage in a valuable public contract. Businesses with expertise in upgrading electrical systems, particularly those with experience in fire services or similar industries, will be especially well-suited to compete. Successful vendors will not only secure a contract but also potentially establish long-term relationships with a key public sector client, thereby promoting business growth.

## Notice

BFRA has three Scania appliances fitted with a failed fire engineering system together with associated wiring looms. These appliances were manufactured in 2009 and now require an electrical upgrade to a CANbus controlled system. The schedule of work is to be completed in stages following acceptance testing of each appliance, firstly Fleet 77, followed by Fleet 78 and Fleet 79.
