- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) is seeking information to understand the available solutions that support candidate assessment and selection as part of a wider recruitment and talent acquisition process. This may include but not limited to, online psychometric, behavioural and aptitude assessment tools that enable employers to evaluate candidates' potential, workplace behaviours, learning agility and suitability for specific roles.
Suppliers who can provide the above are invited to email their expression of interest to tenders@westyorksfire.gov.uk by Monday 26th October, and if possible, provide the following information:
• Main contact name, email, and phone number for follow-up communication.
• Any frameworks you are currently associated with.
• Link to your website including a link to any available demonstration
• Any additional comments or feedback based on the information provided.
Please note that this request for information (RFI) is not a call for competition. At this time a procurement exercise has yet to be determined. Further confirmation will follow regarding the intention of WYFRS regarding this solution.
WYFRS reserve the right to discuss requirements with any supplier beyond this initial notice before any competitive tender process is undertaken.
We also recommend that you register with the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's E-Procurement system, 'In-tend,' at the following link https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/register . This will ensure that if a competitive tender procedure is undertaken, you will already have access to the documentation once live.
