Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured replacement station-end mobilisation equipment for 38 fire stations and one test station, covering 39 sites in total. The requirement also includes support and maintenance for the station-end mobilisation equipment. This is a supply contract for firefighting equipment and associated support, intended to upgrade the Service’s legacy equipment. Delivery is in the West Midlands. The buyer is West Midlands Fire Service, based in Birmingham.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Telent Technology Services Limited on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,143,860. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2033. The competition was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026. The requirement covered the equipment replacement and related support across all 39 sites as one procurement. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-site requirement for fire-service station-end mobilisation equipment, with ongoing support and maintenance forming part of the package. A credible competitor would need to supply and install replacement equipment across a network of fire stations and a test site, while also supporting the equipment throughout a long service period. Relevant strengths include experience upgrading legacy systems, coordinating deployment across multiple operational locations, and providing dependable maintenance and technical support. Suppliers able to combine equipment supply with sustained service delivery would be best placed to meet a similar requirement from West Midlands Fire Service. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so capable smaller suppliers may also be relevant, particularly where they can demonstrate the capacity and expertise to deliver across all sites.
