What the notice says

East Sussex Fire Authority (ESFA) on behalf of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is seeking to award a contract for the provision of the servicing, maintenance and repair and occasional full renewal of the appliance bay doors on our fire stations located across East Sussex along with a few similar type doors on workshops and similar structures. It will also include a number of automated doors and barriers. This contract will be let to support our Estates Department. This call off contract will cover a requirement for routine maintenance and statutory servicing along with ad-hoc repairs to our appliance bay doors, other building automated doors and site access gates and barriers. As a consequence of the requirements of the Procurement Act 23 (PA23) the scope of this contract has been reduced from previously, to aid bids from SME’s. The total replacement of a single door following accident damage may occasionally be requested but cyclical capital door replacements will now form part of a new term contract that will be tendered for at a future date.
