## Summary

Teesside International Airport is procuring one airport aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle. The requirement covers supply, delivery, commissioning and support for a vehicle suitable for airport operations, meeting the airport’s operational, safety and compliance requirements and ICAO Annex 14 specifications. This is a specialist firefighting vehicle procurement (CPV 34144210). Delivery is to the Teesside area of England. The purchase is for a complete operational vehicle rather than a general-purpose fire engine, with commissioning and ongoing support included.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender set an enquiries deadline of 20 October 2026 at 17:00 and a bid submission deadline of 27 October 2026 at 12:00. The expected contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2031, with up to two extension options of five to ten years each; these may allow procurement of up to two further vehicles, subject to the authority’s approval. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 20% price and 20% social value. The intended award decision date was 18 November 2026.

This opportunity is suited to manufacturers and specialist suppliers able to provide airport-grade aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles, together with delivery, commissioning and support. Bidders need to demonstrate that their proposed vehicle can meet the airport’s operational and safety requirements and comply with ICAO Annex 14. The contract also suits suppliers with the capacity to support a vehicle throughout a multi-year operating period and potentially supply further vehicles if extension options are exercised. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to compete. Quality is the largest part of the evaluation, so technical performance and the ability to satisfy the specified requirements carry more weight than price, while social value also forms a defined part of the assessment.
