Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service procured the supply and delivery of formaldehyde-free or low-formaldehyde oriented strand board (OSB 3), a wood-based construction material, for its Oldbury and Coventry stations in the West Midlands. Boards are required at 2440 x 1220 x 18mm and must be cut to requirements. The supply includes offcuts, five-sided polythene wrapping or similar protection, bearers, and boards strapped and secured in bundles of 50 on pallets. Deliveries support activities at both fire service sites, which run training courses, so deliveries must fit around site operations. The requirement is for goods and is intended for delivery to both locations, with a forklift truck available at each site for unloading.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. West Midlands Fire Service awarded the contract to Premier Forest Products Ltd on 28 August 2026 for £59,404.50, with the contract running from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. Deliveries were anticipated monthly to both Oldbury and Coventry. The supplier must notify each site 24 hours before delivery, and delivery arrangements must accommodate the sites’ training courses. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated procurement category is goods, with wood as the underlying classification.

This award indicates demand from West Midlands Fire Service for a specialist timber or building-materials supplier able to source compliant OSB 3, including formaldehyde-free or low-formaldehyde products, and provide accurate cutting to size. A credible competitor would need dependable stock and the operational capacity to prepare offcuts, protective wrapping, bearers and palletised bundles of 50. The delivery model requires reliable logistics to Oldbury and Coventry, coordination with operational training sites, 24-hour advance notification and safe unloading arrangements. Experience supplying sheet materials to public-sector, construction or facilities customers would support a future response, particularly where the supplier can demonstrate consistent product quality, repeat delivery performance, secure packaging and capacity to serve two locations.
