West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority ("Authority") is engaging with the market with regards to a potential requirement for station resting facilities.
Our fire stations are more than just buildings - they are the foundation of emergency response and public safety.
To effectively serve our communities, we must operate from facilities that are modern, inclusive, and equipped to meet 21st-century challenges.
This means: • Healthier work environments - Providing our firefighters and staff with state-of-the-art facilities that prioritize well-being, contamination control, and operational efficiency, ensuring they can perform at their best. • Inclusivity and diversity - Ensuring our stations are accessible and welcoming for a diverse workforce by incorporating modern amenities that support gender equality, mental health, and well-being.
To support the above the Authority is reviewing the current resting provision with a view to provide beds and resting chairs at all of our 38 fire stations.
The purpose of this market engagement process is to enable the Authority to establish the following: - Is there is a sufficient supplier base to ensure robust competition - What is the appetite in the market for the provision of the required goods - How attractive to suppliers is the proposed package being procured - What is the estimated price range The publication of this Notice in no way commits the Authority to commence any subsequent procurement exercise or award any contract.
The Authority reserves the right not to proceed with the planned procurement process at any time.
