## Summary

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is seeking an automatic washing machine for cleaning Breathing Apparatus cylinders, together with installation and associated works. This is a goods requirement with an integrated installation and support element, classified under CPV 42716120 for washing machines. The buying organisation is South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, based in Llantrisant. Delivery and work are intended for the Service’s operational area in South Wales, including the Central Valleys. The requirement will suit suppliers able to provide suitable industrial washing equipment and undertake its installation and related works. Businesses should review the quotation pack for the detailed technical specification, site requirements and any operational conditions applying to the equipment and associated services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition and issued an Invitation to Quote. It covers one lot. The enquiry deadline was 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. Its estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. Bids will be evaluated on technical quality and price. The selection requirements are set out in the quotation pack. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity is commercially relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist installers of industrial washing equipment, particularly businesses able to provide automatic systems suitable for cleaning Breathing Apparatus cylinders. Suppliers need to be able to deliver the equipment, install it and complete the associated works as a single requirement. The technical response will be important because technical quality is an evaluation criterion alongside price. The quotation pack sets out the detailed selection requirements, technical criteria, terms and conditions, and includes a business continuity audit report. This means bidders should be prepared to demonstrate that they can maintain supply and service continuity and meet the Authority’s operational requirements. The procurement is expressly suitable for SMEs.
