Summary of the contracting process

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service has completed the tender process for the provision of smoke alarms under the West Midland Fire Service framework, with the contract awarded to Fireblitz Extinguisher Limited. The procurement was carried out by Hampshire County Council, a key regional authority, through a selective call-off from an existing framework agreement, known to streamline the procurement process. With a contract value of £326,916, this procurement falls under the services category in the smoke-detection apparatus industry, identified by the CPV code 38431200. The contract is set to commence on 1 August 2025 and conclude by 31 May 2029, covering the delivery region in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Fireblitz Extinguisher Limited, who specialise in smoke-detection and related safety equipment. The awarded procurement method, aligned with the selective framework, allows companies with suitable expertise in fire safety technology to expand by participating in public sector projects. Businesses focusing on safety apparatus, particularly in provisioning services, should consider similar tenders to grow their operations within public frameworks. The support of large buying organisations like Hampshire County Council can provide consistent demand and visibility in the market.
