## Summary

The East Sussex Fire Authority is currently conducting a tender for the purchase of pumping appliances, specifically fire engines, valued at approximately £4.3 million. This process is classified under the goods procurement category and is part of an open procedure. The tender period concludes on 30th March 2021, indicating that interested parties must submit their bids by this deadline. The contract is anticipated to span three financial years, covering 2023/24 to 2025/26, with a commitment to replace a minimum of three vehicles annually, contingent on available funding.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing of fire-fighting and emergency vehicles. Companies specialising in specialised vehicles or those that offer firefighting, rescue, and safety equipment would be particularly well-suited to compete in this mini-competition. As the order volume may increase depending on circumstances, suppliers should prepare to demonstrate their capability to flexibly meet the varying demands of the East Sussex Fire Authority.

## Notice

This is a mini competition run under framework DS183 -15 and is only open to pre-approved suppliers. The intention is that ESFRS will continue to replace a minimum of 3 of the existing pumping appliance fleet each year over the three financial years this contract will cover - 23/24 to 25/26. The number to be ordered is dependent on funding being available when required. This number is therefore not guaranteed but equally the number may be increased in any particular year if more vehicles are required. If the extension period of this contract is requested and agreed, we may order up to an additional 6 vehicles during this period.
