## Summary

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is seeking an automatic washing machine for breathing apparatus cylinders, together with installation and associated works. This is a supply requirement with an installation element, intended to support the cleaning of equipment used with breathing apparatus. The equipment and related work are for the Service, based in Llantrisant, and delivery is in Wales. The procurement covers one combined requirement rather than separate lots, so suppliers would need to provide the machine and undertake the associated installation and works. The buyer is the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the bid submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 12:00 GMT. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2030. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on technical criteria and price; the selection criteria are set out in the quotation pack. The tender is described as an invitation to quote, issued to obtain offers for the equipment, installation and associated works.

The requirement may suit small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers should be able to supply an automatic washing machine for breathing apparatus cylinders and deliver installation and associated works. Technical capability and price are both evaluation considerations, so bidders need to address the technical requirements as well as offer competitive pricing. The associated documents include a business continuity appendix and contract terms and conditions, which are relevant to suppliers assessing their ability to meet the buyer’s requirements and contractual obligations.
