This is a fire safety equipment maintenance and repair contract, also including firefighting equipment installation work in the procurement classification. The delivery location is in the Ashford area of Kent. The requirement concerns the ongoing upkeep and repair of equipment across the Council’s housing and corporate property responsibilities, rather than a purchase of equipment alone.

The estimated value is £360,000 excluding VAT (£432,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable to bid.

The procurement documents, including the technical specifications, are available through that portal. No separate enquiry deadline is stated in the tender details. The requirement suits suppliers with the operational capability to carry out fire safety equipment maintenance, repairs and testing across properties managed by both housing and corporate property teams. Contractors need to be able to support the safe, continuing use of equipment, respond to repair needs and undertake testing as required. The single-lot scope is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist firms as well as larger providers with the required service capacity.
