Live Fire Training Building
East Sussex Fire Authority has published 6 Education & Training notices, about every 32 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around July 2028.
43% of East Sussex Fire Authority’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
East Sussex Fire Authority (ESFA) on behalf of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service require to replace their Live Fire Training Building situated on our Training Centre site in Maresfield East Sussex.
Our intention is to replace essentially what we have now on a like for like basis but taking into account some design changes identified that will improve both flexibility in use and reduce the impact we have on the environment.
We have a fairly clear idea of what we want, and that we can afford it, and believe we have a basic understanding of who might be able to supply what we require in a fairly small niche market.
However, the aim of this document is to allow the market to confirm, or otherwise, our assumptions and for us to gather some information that will allow us to prepare an equitable tender that any capable supplier could bid for.
As well as establishing capable suppliers we are very keen to establish whether this can be achieved as a single supplier integrated project, or not.
Whilst we may consider alternative innovative approaches, we believe that a steel framed metal structure or container-based solution is likely to be all that we can afford and of which, we have a lot of experience being the basis of the current unit.
To come up with the following we have discussed and/or viewed other existing structures at other FRS’s to formalise our decision making.
We have not discussed what might be possible with any potential supplier to date.
This pre-market engagement is the start of that process.
