## Summary

The South Tyneside Borough Council recently completed the tender process for servicing portable fire equipment, awarding the contract to EXPERT FIRE SOLUTIONS LIMITED. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment, as well as repair and maintenance services. Based in South Shields, United Kingdom, the contract is set to commence on 3rd November 2025 and conclude by 2nd November 2028, with options for two 12-month extensions. The procurement followed a limited method due to its below threshold status, and the competitive process saw two final stage bids.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fire safety and equipment maintenance. The tender is well-suited for businesses capable of providing comprehensive servicing of fire safety equipment within sub-central government operations. With a contract value of £140,000, this initiative offers growth potential for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint in public sector services, particularly in the North East region of the UK.
