Overview
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service - Procurement Portal is a completely
new enhancement to our web site. It offers suppliers the ability to view the
majority of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service contract announcements in
real time. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service uses BiP Solutions' e-notice
service Project, for placing EU and non-EU public notices, and facilitates
the publication of these notices immediately on this procurement portal giving
suppliers instant access to most of the contract opportunities
Background
The European Commission recommends in the
Consolidated Procurement Directive that authorities provide their purchasing
and procurement information via a Buyer Profile and this facility has been
incorporated in this procurement portal. The buyer profile provides information
on purchase plans, contact details, future, current and past contracts. By
publishing this information Essex County Fire and Rescue Service offer suppliers
the opportunity to identify future opportunities, respond to current opportunities
and to view which suppliers have already been engaged along with the goods
and/or services purchased. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list.
