Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire Service has awarded a contract for the supply of fire-resistant (FR) bedding, as part of their Safe and Well programme. This award, under the industry category of bed linen, forms a call-off from the Safe and Well framework agreement C5682 and commenced on 16th May 2025, with a completion date set for 15th May 2026. Located in the West Midlands, England, the procurement process involved a selective approach through a framework agreement, resulting in a contract valued at £31,400. The contract was awarded to Gailarde Ltd, a SME, following an award notice published on 5th June 2025.

This contract presents growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in the production and supply of textile goods, including fire-resistant materials. Businesses with expertise in producing durable and compliant bedding products may find similar opportunities by engaging in framework agreements within regional procurement initiatives. By fostering relationships with local fire services or similar agencies, suppliers can enhance their portfolio, expand operational reach, and contribute to community safety programmes such as the Safe and Well visits led by West Midlands Fire Service.
