Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority involves the provision of heavy vehicle stabilisation equipment under the industry category of security, fire-fighting, police, and defence equipment (CPV code 35000000). This procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, using a selective procurement method. The contract, valued at £1,567,580, was awarded on 28th August 2025 to Vimpex Limited. The contract runs from 6th October 2025 to 5th October 2026. All deliveries are to be made within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has now reached completion, with the award status being active as of the latest update on 16th October 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in security and fire-fighting equipment, given its classification and the nature of equipment required. As the contract was awarded through a selective method and by calling off from a framework agreement, businesses already within such frameworks, particularly those with experience in providing robust emergency response equipment, are well-suited. It is an ideal chance for companies looking to establish or strengthen their relationships with public sector organisations like Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority. The focus on goods delivery to the UK also favours local businesses in logistics planning and cost-efficiency considerations.
