In plain English
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (working with local police) needs electrical contractors to install, maintain, and test equipment at fire stations and support buildings across six Welsh counties. The work includes PAT testing (portable appliance testing) and fixed wire inspections. You can bid for up to 2 of the 6 geographical areas, and they may award contracts to up to 3 suppliers per area.
What the buyer wants
• Electrical installation and maintenance work at fire stations (both staffed 24/7 and part-time on-call stations) and support buildings • PAT testing: regular safety testing of portable electrical equipment • Fixed wire testing: inspection and certification of permanent electrical installations within buildings
Lots
- Carmarthenshire
- Pembrokeshire
- Ceredigion
- Powys
- Neath Port Talbot
- Swansea
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must be a qualified, registered electrical contractor with current PAT and fixed wire testing certifications. Self-employed sole traders without formal qualifications or registration will almost certainly be rejected. Most fire and rescue services also require DBS clearance for site access, which can take 4-8 weeks.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
