Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Hereford & Worcester Fire & Rescue Service involved a tender titled "Smoke Alarms", classified under the smoke-detection apparatus industry category. This selective procurement followed a call-off from a national framework agreement and was held in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The process has advanced to the award stage, with the contract period commencing on 1st June 2025 and concluding on 30th September 2029. The total contract value was £30,000, and the procurement sought the provision of smoke alarms and associated products. Key dates included the tender period ending on 18th May 2025 and the contract award being made active on 20th May 2025.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in fire safety products and apparatus, particularly those focusing on smoke detection technology, to align with this framework agreement. Although the tender was specific, larger enterprises such as Fireblitz Extinguisher Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate the potential for significant growth in supplying essential safety equipment to public service entities. Companies capable of similar service and product offerings could potentially scale by exploring such framework agreements within the public procurement sector.
