What is being bought

This Market Test is being conducted to assess supplier interest and capability in providing Station End systems/equipment for Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service. The objective is to explore available solutions, gauge market capacity, indicative costs, and inform a potential future procurement process. The FRS need is to provide Station End turnout and alerting capability to stations and crews to enhance and support the work of operational crews and officers, and to consider innovative ideas to improve/replace the current systems/processes. Suppliers are invited to respond, indicating their ability to provide all or some of the specified Lots. The supply/support/maintenance of Station End systems/equipment is for 17 WFRS sites with a mix of crew types covering Wholetime, Day-crewed and On-call, including 3 resilience locations. The replacement system/equipment must: Provide reliable and secure communication with the Fire Control CAD system. Support existing and future mobilisation requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure. Improve resilience, maintainability, and user experience. GD92 compliant.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Firefighting, rescue and safety equipment (35110000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 352,5013 median · 37.7 average (944 of 2,501 with a bid count)4 average (1,095 of 2,501 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
