Purpose

To undertake a procurement exercise for Hard Facilities Management Fire Equipment: Inspection and Supply

Decision

To undertake a procurement exercise to establish a new contract for Hard Facilities Management Fire Equipment: Inspection and Supply for North Yorkshire Council.

Reasons for the decision

A decision has been made to undertake a procurement exercise to establish a new contract for the Hard Facilities Management Fire Equipment: Inspection and Supply, as the contracts established by the former County Council for this are due to expire on the 31st March 2025. The new contract will also include provision to provide all relevant servicing and maintenance for additional Council properties as other contract arrangements expire, as well as provision for Property’s Traded Service Property Solutions clients.

The procurement will commence later this year with a view to having new contracts in place for the 1st April 2025. It is proposed that the new contract will be for a duration of three years with options to extend for a further four years (resulting in a maximum contract period of seven years).

Alternative options considered

None.
