The Provision of Servicing, Maintenance and Supply of Breathing Air Compressors

Cleveland Fire Authority is conducting a tender exercise on behalf of itself and the Durham and Darlington, Tyne and Wear, and Northumberland Fire and Rescue Services for the servicing, maintenance, and supply of breathing air compressors. The procurement is divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers scheduled servicing and emergency call-outs for all participating services, while Lot 2 involves the ad hoc supply of compressors specifically for the Cleveland and Durham and Darlington services. The estimated base contract value is 210,000 GBP excluding VAT, with a performance period running from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2030, and potential extensions for two 24-month periods, extending the total duration to seven years. Award decisions will be based on a combination of whole life cost, quality, and social value. Price evaluation considers acquisition, energy use, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal costs, while quality and social value responses are scored on a 0-5 matrix. Small and medium-sized enterprises are specifically considered under the suitability criteria. Interested parties must submit their proposals in English via the Intend Portal by the deadline of November 27, 2026, at 12:00pm, with an enquiry deadline set for November 20, 2026.
