Preliminary Market Engagement – Multi-Disciplinary Estates Services - Avon Fire & Rescue

Avon Fire & Rescue Service is considering the future procurement of a multi-disciplinary estates services arrangement and would like to engage with suitably experienced contractors to understand market capability, commercial models and the practical requirements for establishing a successful long-term partnership. The Service is considering the appointment of one principal contractor to provide a coordinated range of estates, building services and specialist works across its estate.

The anticipated contract value would be approximately £600,000 per annum, with a potential contract term of five years. This preliminary market engagement is intended to support early market engagement and does not constitute a commitment by the Service to proceed with procurement or to award a contract.
