What is being bought

Published requirement description

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service require the design, installation and commissioning of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage tanks, together with the ongoing supply of LPG fuel.

  • No preliminary market engagement: The contracting authority did not publish a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice because the market engagement discussions were undertaken during January 2025 as an integrated element of a wider, historic project scope. Furthermore, the progression of this specific requirement remained strictly contingent on obtaining statutory planning permission. Publishing a contemporary PME Notice would not accurately reflect the current procurement timeline or market conditions."

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
