Summary of the contracting process

The Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service, a regional authority based in Nottingham, has completed a procurement process for the provision of respiratory protective equipment (RPE) and personal protection equipment (PPE), classified under the industry category of protective and safety clothing (CPV 35113400). The process utilised a limited procurement method, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Arco, an SME supplier based in Hull, on 13th September 2024, with the contract's value amounting to £180,000. This procurement was exempt from the typical directive requirements, using the ESPO framework 144_23 Lot 1 Direct Award, and the delivery location is within the UKF1 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment and gear, particularly SMEs capable of supplying high-quality protective clothing and RPE. Companies with reliable and adaptable product lines that meet contract specifications can benefit from long-term relationships with essential public services such as fire and rescue. Furthermore, partnerships with regional authorities can provide steady revenue streams and reinforce a company’s market position within the UK, particularly through frameworks like ESPO, which facilitate direct award processes. Such contracts are ideal for businesses looking for low-competition tenders without the need for extensive bidding procedures.
