DS478-24 NFCC Emergency Response Vehicle Framework

Award outcome

Framework agreement

Description

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority (on behalf of the National Fire Chiefs Council Transport Officers Group (NFCC TOG) and in conjunction with the NFCC Procurement Hub, is leading a procurement project to replace the existing Framework Agreement for UK Fire and Rescue Emergency Response Vehicles. The future framework agreement will enable Contracting Authorities named on the framework to procure Pumping Appliances, Aerial Appliances and Special Vehicles as required by their Contracting Authority, Fire and Rescue Service etc. For the purposes of this Pipeline Notice the contract location is stated as "United Kingdom, Jersey, Isle of Man and Guernsey" because the contract location for any call-off under the resulting framework agreement will depend upon the location of that Contracting Authority performing the call-off contract. Preliminary market engagement was carried out under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The PIN notice for that engagement can be found via the link below: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/748a1220-2203-4418-b562-1d809186c6cb The Project Team are currently establishing the requirements and the permitted vehicles that can be procured, and this information will be published within the Invitation to Tender later this year. At this stage, the Project Team anticipates that the NFCC Emergency Response Vehicle Framework will be an open framework for a period of 8 years (the contract start and end dates in this Pipeline Notice are based on this assumption). No extensions will be available. The Tender Notice for the framework agreement is planned to be published on 4th June 2025. Please note this publication date may be subject to change. Suppliers who may be interested in this opportunity can prepare by registering on the Authority's e-tendering portal where this opportunity is likely to be tendered in due course. The e-tendering portal is located at: https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home The e-tendering portal is free to use.
