Pembrokeshire County Council (the Council) invites you to submit a bid (called a “tender”) to provide Fixed Wired Testing (FWT) and In-service Testing (PAT), in Public Buildings throughout Pembrokeshire.

A Primary Supplier will be appointed to the Framework to deliver against the Authorities requirement, with a second Supplier appointed as a ‘Reserve Supplier’.

Pembrokeshire County Council reserves the right to award, subject to their agreement and available resource, the remainder of the Contract term to the Reserve Supplier, should the appointed Supplier fail to deliver against the Authorities requirement.

The Framework Agreement will be for a 5 year period.

The Authority is using etenderwales to carry out the procurement process.

Contract period: 1 Apr 2025 – 31 Mar 2030 (5 yrs)
Delivery: Wales · Pembrokeshire
Variant bids: not allowed

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.
  • “Fixed Wired Testing (FWT) and In-Service Testing (PAT)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.

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