How to win: Refurbishment and Associated Building Works Framework

About this contract

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) is considering establishing a multi-supplier framework for the delivery of refurbishment and associated building works across its estate. The proposed framework will include other Fire and Rescue Services within the Yorkshire and Humberside region, promoting regional collaboration. Bidders can apply for one or all FRS’s. WYFRS are acting as lead contracting authority, and FRS’s named on the framework will be:- • West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. • Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. • South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. We are aiming to award local contractors on the framework and are encouraging SME’s to tender for the value lots available. As such all bidders must have a registered office within the Yorkshire and Humberside region. The Authority is seeking feedback from the market to help inform the framework structure, procurement strategy and contract award mechanisms. The framework may be used to procure projects including, but not limited to, fire station refurbishments, welfare facility improvements, locker room and shower upgrades, internal remodelling, building alterations, accessibility improvements, roofing work
