Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service bought 115 gas monitors for use by its fire and rescue service. The purchase also covers replacement parts, training and technical support for the service’s equipment technicians. Maintenance and calibration are to be carried out in-house, so the requirement is for the monitors and associated support rather than an outsourced maintenance service. The equipment falls within firefighting equipment. Delivery is in the South West of England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Life Safety Distribution GmbH. The award was made on 23 June 2026 for £149,992.40. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service used a further competition under Lot 1 of the WMFS C5109 framework for gas monitors and associated equipment; this was a selective framework call-off. The tender deadline was 22 May 2026 at 12:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published information does not state a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

For suppliers of gas-monitoring equipment, this award shows demand from Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service for a substantial fleet purchase, with parts, technician training and technical support included. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply suitable gas monitors and provide ongoing access to replacement parts, plus practical training and technical assistance for the buyer’s equipment technicians. Because the service handles maintenance and calibration in-house, suppliers should be prepared to support the buyer’s own technical team rather than provide those services as a managed maintenance package. The competition was run as a call-off from an existing framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be relevant to suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer.
