Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by YPO centres on the acquisition of Emergency Response and Rescue Equipment, primarily targeting the Fire and Rescue Services but open to all public sector entities within the United Kingdom. This procurement initiative, classified under Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment, operates under a Restricted procedure method and aims to renew the existing ERRE framework through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The DPS period is extended from 2017/06/2022 to 23/02/2029, subject to annual reviews and performance evaluations, with the first decision on contract duration slated for 10/03/2024. The procurement status is active and documents are accessible through YPO's new e-tendering portal.

This opportunity provides a lucrative avenue for businesses specialising in emergency response equipment, protective clothing, rescue tools, and associated products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to engage, given the suitability provisions within the tender. Businesses offering innovative solutions in areas like thermal imaging cameras, portable shelters, and smoke control equipment stand a promising chance in this competitive selective procurement process, potentially securing a share in contracts valued at approximately £40 million. The DPS allows for continuous submission of bids, enabling businesses to tailor their offerings promptly to meet evolving public sector demands.
