## Summary

The Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority is undertaking a planning phase for the procurement of a Financial Management Information System, as indicated in the engagement notice dated 22nd May 2026. This project is classified under the goods category with a specific focus on financial systems software. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the next significant milestone being the deadline for engagement responses, scheduled for midday on 5th June 2026.
