Summary of the contracting process

The South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, along with the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority and the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, have recently completed the procurement process for the supply of Fire Cadet Uniform and Ancillary Items. This tender, divided into four lots (Workwear, Drill Suit and Leggings, Wellington Boots, and Gloves), was awarded through an open procedure. The contract has been awarded to multiple suppliers: Footprint Uniforms for the Workwear and Drill Suits and Leggings, SOUTHCOMBE BROTHERS LIMITED for the Gloves, and Simon Safety & Lifting Centre Ltd for the Wellington Boots. The contracts, signed on 2nd September 2024, will run for an initial period of three years with an optional twelve-month extension based on supplier performance, covering the delivery region of Wales (UKL). The procurement focused on sustainability criteria, including carbon reduction and environmental impact, and placed a significant emphasis on the quality of samples provided.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in occupational and protective clothing, particularly those with a focus on sustainability and innovation in reducing environmental impact. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have demonstrated their capability to secure such contracts, as evidenced by the awarded suppliers. Businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying fire-brigade uniforms, workwear, protective gear, and accessories can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their presence within the public sector. The initial contract period and the possibility of extension offer a stable business growth trajectory for suppliers, making it an attractive proposition for companies aiming to grow their government contracting portfolio.
