Emergency Response, Rescue Equipment and Associated Services 2

Kent County Council (t/a Procurement Services) · Local authority

In brief

Kent County Council (t/a Procurement Services) has announced plans to buy medical supplies work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £200,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 August 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 37 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £200,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Procurement Services are looking to create a local and national framework for the provision of Emergency Response, Rescue Equipment and Associated services such as but not limited to water rescue equipment, rescue tools and equipment, working at height, medical response equipment, drones and emergency shelters. Your response will help us design a framework that meets the needs of suppliers and customers to improve the procurement experience across all areas in the public sector. Scope and LOT structure is still to be determined.
