The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of Fire Appliances" to supply up to ten fire appliances, with eight guaranteed. This procurement, classified under the industry category of fire engines, was conducted using a selective procurement method as a call-off from the YPO Framework 1170. The contract was awarded on 26th September 2025, following the closure of the tender period on 25th September 2025. The contract's duration extends from 26th September 2025 to 25th September 2042 and is located in Wellingborough, England.
