## Summary

The procurement process overseen by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority involves the purchase of four replacement vehicle lifts for its Charminster workshop. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically vehicle hoists, and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was direct, without competition, as it was below the threshold for competitive tendering. This tender has reached the award stage, with an anticipated contract period from 1st August 2026 to 30th June 2027. The awarded contract, valued at £31,408.61 (excluding VAT), highlights the decision to supply vehicle lifts that are compatible with existing equipment, ensuring their operational efficiency for tri-axle vehicles.

This procurement presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in automotive equipment, vehicle hoists, and maintenance services. The nature of the tender, requiring compatibility with existing systems, indicates an advantage for suppliers with innovative, adaptable products that integrate with existing technology. Suppliers within the UK who can provide high-quality, durable vehicle lifts on a non-competitive basis are well-suited to opportunities of this nature. Large enterprises with the capability to handle such tailored orders, like Finkbeiner UK, who was awarded the contract, are likely to benefit significantly. This tender underscores the importance of establishing a strong marketplace presence and offering solutions that meet specific client requirements.
