Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited, based in Hull, purchased half face-masks and the corresponding filters for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods requirement for respiratory protective equipment, classified under CPV 35111100, which covers breathing apparatus for firefighting. The requirement is focused on supplying compatible half-mask equipment and replacement or associated filters rather than providing a broader safety consultancy, maintenance or training service. Businesses operating in respiratory protection, firefighting equipment, industrial safety supplies or related personal protective equipment would find the subject matter relevant. The purchasing arrangement used Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation’s Stock Supply Portal, indicating that the buyer obtained the equipment through an established stock-supply route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. BIP Solutions Limited evaluated the requirement by 30 May 2026, and awarded the contract to Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation on 22 May 2026. The awarded value was £62,100. The contract ran from 1 June 2026 to 31 July 2026. The procurement was for goods and used an ‘Other’ procurement method, with purchasing carried out through Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation’s Stock Supply Portal. The published requirement covered the overall supply of half face-masks and filters rather than separate lots. The procurement was recorded as complete, and the award remained active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear indication that BIP Solutions Limited buys half face-masks and associated filters for use in a firefighting-related setting, with supply coordinated through Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation. A credible future competitor would need a dependable stock-supply operation, access to suitable respiratory protective equipment, and the ability to provide masks together with compatible filters as a single requirement. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, so businesses considering this market should be prepared to demonstrate comparable purchasing capacity, product availability and fulfilment reliability. Relevant experience in firefighting equipment, respiratory protection or industrial safety supplies would help establish that the business can meet a public-sector buyer’s equipment needs through a structured purchasing portal.
