## Summary

The current public procurement is being conducted by the Lancashire Combined Fire Authority, located at the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters in Preston, UK. This procurement is in the planning stage as of 4th September 2025 and involves creating a framework for vehicle maintenance and servicing, particularly for a fleet comprising various types of emergency and reserve vehicles. The initiative falls within the services category and involves a framework agreement, with the involvement of Trafford Council leading the procurement process. Significant milestones include an engagement scheduled to take place online via Proactis by 12th September 2025. The contract is expected to be active from 1st April 2026 through 31st March 2030, with key delivery regions spread across the United Kingdom from UKC to UKK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in fleet management, repair, and maintenance services. SMEs, in particular, are encouraged to participate, given that the suitability criteria favour smaller enterprises. As the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service requires a flexible service solution for its fleet, companies experienced in adapting operations to meet the evolving needs of emergency services would find this opportunity beneficial. With a potential framework agreement in place, businesses can secure long-term contracts, enhancing business stability and growth prospects. This tender is particularly relevant to those located in the various UK regions where services will be delivered.
