Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service, a division of Oxfordshire County Council, led a collaborative procurement for the provision, collection, and disposal of firefighting foam across several partner Fire & Rescue Services. This procurement process, under the tender title "Firefighting Foam Provision, Collection & Disposal," falls within the goods category and the region covered includes the UK. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and it went through the stages of tender and award, reaching completion by 30th April 2025. Key dates included an amendment to the tender closing date, extended to 21st October 2024, with contract signing occurring on 30th November 2024. The tenders included multiple lots, namely, the supply of foam at different induction rates and the collection and safe disposal of foam, ensuring adherence to new legislative requirements.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in manufacturing firefighting foam supplies and waste management related to toxic materials. Large-scale enterprises like Angloco Ltd and Terberg DTS (UK) Ltd were successful in securing awards for the respective lots. Companies with expertise in logistical contracts and environmental safety are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially given the need for specialised products like Florine Free Fire Fighting Foam and the complexity involved in the safe disposal of chemical substances. As a regional authority, Oxfordshire County Council’s engagement hints at a stable, long-term business relationship, with possible extensions, providing companies with a competitive edge and reinforcing their market presence in the firefighting supplies sector.
