Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has completed a procurement process for the supply of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) fans for the Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service. The contract, valued at approximately £77,852 before VAT, was direct-awarded to Vimpex under the Commercial Services Y23046 Framework Agreement, specifically targeting emergency response and rescue equipment for restricted and confined spaces. The procurement method was 'call-off from a framework agreement,' and the procurement stage is at the 'award' stage. The contract began on 1st March 2026 and is set to expire on 28th February 2027, with the potential for a one-year extension. The equipment will be supplied to the East of England, supporting firefighting efforts in the region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of firefighting equipment. Companies that specialise in emergency response and rescue equipment, particularly those offering innovative solutions for confined spaces, would find this contract highly beneficial. Given that the procurement was made through a selective method from an established framework, businesses that are already part of or can join such frameworks gain a substantial advantage. This contract could help such companies enhance their portfolio and reputation by collaborating with a reputable public sector body like Suffolk County Council, thus aiding in further business growth.
