Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service bought a T1 method-of-entry tool as new equipment for the larger BRVs being introduced into its service. This is a goods requirement for firefighting and rescue equipment, with delivery in the West Midlands. The equipment is intended to serve the needs of the larger vehicles; suppliers of vehicle-mounted rescue tools are the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TERBERG DTS (UK) LIMITED. The award date was 23 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The awarded value is £40,000. The buyer used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the threshold; submissions closed on 22 September 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the process information.

For suppliers who did not win, the award shows West Midlands Fire Service’s demand for method-of-entry equipment for its larger BRVs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a tool suited to the vehicle and the fire and rescue service’s operational use. Businesses specialising in this equipment, including SMEs, are the closest fit. The procurement indicates a defined equipment purchase rather than a broad vehicle supply or general fire-service contract. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that their product meets the practical needs of use with larger response vehicles.
