Summary of the contracting process

The Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is seeking suppliers for "GB-Witham: Supply of Multi-Purpose Firefighting Foam Concentrate" as part of an open procurement process. The tender, which is currently announced as active, aims to replace existing foam concentrates with more efficient 1%/1% or 1%/3% induction rate foams to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Bids are due by 7th July 2017, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st November 2017 for an initial period of one year, with the option to extend for two additional years. This procurement falls within the firefighting equipment industry, primarily covering the East of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in firefighting materials and equipment. Businesses that can provide large-scale bulk deliveries of foam concentrates, especially those able to fulfil minimum order quantities of 1,000 litres, would be well-positioned to bid. This is an excellent chance for SMEs looking to expand their market presence in the public sector, particularly in supplying environmentally friendly products that meet the evolving needs of firefighting services.
