Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority has awarded a contract titled "Descenders" for the procurement of Safe Working at Heights PPE, specifically for industrial descenders used by rope rescue teams. This item falls under the category of Rescue and Emergency Equipment (CPV code: 35112000). The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the award was made on 19th October 2020. The contract is active until 21st October 2024, with a contract value of £19,200. The procurement involved thorough planning and competition, ensuring the best suppliers were considered for this critical safety equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the manufacturing and supply of emergency rescue equipment, particularly those focusing on personal protective equipment (PPE). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those that specialise in innovative safety solutions and products compatible with rigorous rescue operations, would be well-positioned to compete. The contract's focus on safety and practicality in high-risk environments means that suppliers who can demonstrate compliance with stringent safety standards will likely attract interest from organisations within the public sector and emergency services.
