The tender, awarded to VIMPEX LIMITED, fell under the Emergency and security equipment category (CPV code: 35100000), with additional classification under Individual and support equipment (CPV code: 35800000). The procurement stage of this process is the Award stage, and the tender period ended on 9th March 2025. The total contract value is £30,000, covering the period from 10th March 2025 to 9th March 2029, with delivery scheduled to the postal address BS20 8JJ in Bristol, England. This was a selective procurement conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement.

Large-scale suppliers with the ability to meet the demands of long-term contracts will find this tender especially suitable, ensuring consistent business engagement until 2029. The procurement was not designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), indicating a focus on the capacity and expertise of larger companies. Businesses capable of fulfilling these needs stand to benefit from sustained revenue and the potential for extended partnership with AVON FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE.
