The Kent Fire and Medway Towns Fire Authority is currently conducting a procurement process titled "C18068 - Provision of Specialist Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)" to establish a national framework for supplying specialist PPE and associated services. This procurement, classified under the industry category of "Occupational clothing, special workwear and accessories," will cover the geographical area of the UK, Channel Islands, and other Crown dependencies. The tender is at the planning stage and will close on 7th April 2021. The total estimated value of the contract is £100,000,000, and the contract period will run from 29th November 2021 to 28th November 2025, with procurement executed through a selective method using a restricted procedure.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the personal protective equipment sector, especially those providing clothing and related services in the emergency response and safety industries. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-equipped to participate, as the framework allows for mini-competitions and direct procurements across multiple service categories, including hazardous materials and urban search and rescue equipment. Companies that specialise in the production, cleaning, maintenance, or servicing of such protective equipment can benefit from this national framework, which seeks to support a range of services provided to fire and rescue services and other first responders.
