The requirement concerns SCBA appliances within the service’s operational vehicle fleet, with delivery associated with the service’s headquarters on Westburn Drive, Cambuslang. The work is classified as vehicle conversion services and is intended for suppliers able to provide completed, operationally suitable conversions rather than general vehicle supply alone. The procurement is relevant to businesses specialising in emergency-service vehicles, fire and rescue equipment integration, specialist vehicle engineering, or related conversion work. The specification and supporting appendices set out the appliances within scope, the SCBA rollout and the required terms and conditions. The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. The estimated value is £1,200,000 including the stated currency, and the contract period is 27 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Offers were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at the same time. The award basis is 60% price and 40% quality. Bids must be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid until 7 December 2026. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The selection requirement refers bidders to the SPD and procurement documentation. This opportunity suits established specialist vehicle-conversion businesses that can design and deliver self-contained breathing apparatus vehicle conversions for a fire and rescue fleet. Relevant capability includes vehicle engineering, fitting and integration of SCBA equipment, working to a detailed technical specification, and delivering completed appliances within a defined rollout. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate suitability under the SPD and procurement documents and compete on both technical quality and price. The supporting requirements include an invitation to tender, pricing schedule, terms and conditions, technical specification, rollout information and a list of SCBA appliances in scope. Businesses able to manage specialist engineering delivery, pricing and contractual performance should consider the requirement, including firms using appropriate subcontractors. ## Notice Provision of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Vehicle Conversions ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562842 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Oct 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Scottish Fire and Rescue Service | | Locality | CAMBUSLANG | | Postcode area | Glasgow | | Postcode | G72 7NA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Cambuslang East | | Westminster constituency | Rutherglen | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50117000 - Vehicle conversion and reconditioning services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562842 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562842 Provision of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Vehicle Conversions - Provision of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Vehicle Conversions ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://firescotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=840647 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000840647 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=840647 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
