Minor Works Consultancy Frameworks for the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service

Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service · Police and fire

In brief

Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service has announced plans to buy architecture and engineering 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 £2,100,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 1 bid per contract for this buyer (from 5 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 £2,100,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Frameworks for Consultancy Services in Connection with Minor Works Schemes with a Works Value of up to £3 million for NIFRS
