## Summary

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has completed a procurement process for the lease of franking machines and associated consumables. This was conducted through the open procurement method, part of the framework agreement for Postal Goods, Services and Solutions (RM6017). The contract was formally awarded to TMR Executive Agency on 17 March 2021, with an estimated total contract value of £145,000. The delivery of items is to take place at the SFRS National Training Centre located in Cambuslang, Glasgow. The procurement was characterised as complete, and it involved a single supplier lot.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those engaged in postal services, office equipment leasing, or consumables supply, to expand their market presence. Companies that can provide low to medium volume franking machines as well as related consumables could find this contract aligns well with their offerings. As the contract is predominantly focused on franking costs rather than leasing, businesses with expertise in managing ongoing supply needs may find this a lucrative area to explore in future tenders.
