NORTHERN IRELAND FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE TERM SERVICE CONTRACTS 2025 (RE-ISSUE)

The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service

(NIFRS) is seeking to appoint four Economic Operators to enter into

framework agreements and Term Service Contracts for the provision

of building maintenance, planned/preventative maintenance and minor

works which may incorporate mechanical and electrical works,

building services, construction, civil engineering, roofing,

joinery, flooring, window and door repairs, painting, glazing works

and other specialist works including appliance room door

maintenance and servicing. The Economic Operators shall have the

resources in place to attend any works required 24 hours per day,

365 days per year (366 days in a leap year) (including all holidays

and weekends). They shall have significant flexibility and readily

available multi-disciplinary resources to provide the contracting

Authority with a rapid response and an ability to deal with

emergency type works. The contract will be in place for a period of

two years. The Contracting Authority has at its discretion the

option to extend for a further one year period plus an additional

one year period (2 year + 1 + 1), subject to demonstrable

satisfactory performance by the Economic Operator within the terms

and conditions stated in the Invitation to Tender documentation.

The Contracting Authority is not under any obligation to award any

call off contracts under the Framework Agreement. The Contracting

Authority is not responsible for meeting any costs incurred by the

Economic Operator should the value of any call off contracts

awarded under the Framework Agreement fall short of Economic

Operators’ expectations. The Contracting Authority reserves the

right at any time to procure similar or identical work outside the

Framework Agreement.
