As of April 24, 2026, the procurement is in the planning stage, initiated as a Request for Information (RFI). The engagement milsetone is scheduled for May 8, 2026, and takes place in Worcester, United Kingdom. This process falls under the industry category of services, with a focus on compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 to ensure transparency, proportionality, and adherence to industry practices. The planned contract period stretches from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2030, with potential renewal extending to March 31, 2032. The procurement initiative represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electrical, mechanical, life safety, and security systems to expand their operations by collaborating with public authorities such as West Mercia Police. It encompasses diverse service categories including solar panels, generators, lighting systems, security equipment, boilers, lifts, fire detection and alarm systems, and various installation and maintenance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, aligning their capabilities with the requirements outlined in this RFI. Participation in the pre-market engagement can help these businesses showcase their innovations and address any sector-specific considerations, thus paving the way for future contractual success. ## Notice **THIS IS AN RFI ONLY** The West Mercia Police Contracts and Procurement Team, acting on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia and Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service (the Authority), intends to undertake pre market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 in relation to an upcoming Electrical, Mechanical, Life Safety Services & Security Systems Tender (Reference: 11704). This Request for Information (RFI) is issued as part of the Authority's preliminary market engagement activity to inform the development of the future procurement. The purpose of this engagement is to support compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 by improving transparency and ensuring the procurement is designed in a manner that is proportionate, delivers value for money, and reflects current industry accepted practices. The RFI seeks to help the Authority better understand market capability and capacity, gauge supplier interest, identify any risks, innovations, or considerations that suppliers consider relevant to the scope, specification, and delivery model prior to the commencement of a formal procurement process. Participation in this RFI is voluntary and does not form part of any subsequent procurement process, nor does it commit the Authority to undertake a procurement or any participant to bid. Any future procurement will be conducted in compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Authority's statutory obligations, ensuring fair treatment, non discrimination, and that competition is not distorted as a result of this engagement.
