## Summary

The buying organisation, East Sussex Fire Authority, issued a tender titled "Capital Building Works" in the works category for multiple construction projects to refurbish stations and reduce fire risks. The tender, awarded to The Trail Group Ltd, had a value of £8,000,000 and was signed on 29th November 2023. The procurement stage was in the award phase.

This tender presents opportunities for suppliers in the construction industry to participate in projects aimed at enhancing building safety. Businesses involved in construction, building maintenance, repairs, and improvement works would be well-suited to compete. The East Sussex location offers a specific market for these services, with a focus on public safety and emergency services infrastructure.

## Notice

East Sussex Fire Authority wished to award a contract for multiple Capital Works projects over the next 3 years to refurbish stations to reduce the risk of on site fire contaminant products. It is expected each specific project will cost between PS50,000 and PS600,000. We plan to spend around PS6m across the initial term of this contract but accept that with the constraints on availability of resources and material supply and other factors, we may not manage to achieve it all. We also have a number of ancillary projects that could be included that will increase that value. Suppliers need to be registered to use the portal to respond, but registration is free and further information can be found via https://uk.eu-supply.com. For problems with registering please contact initially the EU Supply Portal support via uksupport@eu-supply.com. If you still have difficulties after doing so, please email procurement@esfrs.org.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

East Sussex Fire Authority is seeking to award a contract to support its contract for the provision of building maintenance, repairs and low value improvement works across its estate in East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. This contract will provide for a number of Capital Works projects over the next three years in support of station refurbishments with a view to reduce the risk of on site fire contaminant products. It is expected each specific project will cost between PS50,000 and PS600,000 to complete. We have plans at present to spend around PS6m across the initial term of this contract but accept that with the constraints on availability of resources and material supply and other factors, we may not manage to achieve it all. We also have a number of ancillary projects relating to our training facilities and the creation of an Engineering hub that may be included with this contract which could increase the value further. Each project will be subject to affordability and specific budget approval so none can be guaranteed until we discuss site specifics with the successful supplier. However, most of the funding is in place to allow us to proceed at pace. Suppliers need to be registered to use the portal to respond, but registration is free and further information can be found via https://uk.eu-supply.com. For problems with registering please contact initially the EU Supply Portal support via uksupport@eu-supply.com. If you still have difficulties after doing so, please email procurement@esfrs.org. Additional information: Where the supplier is in agreement, and we wish to do so, there is an option to extend the contract beyond the initial 36 month period.
