Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Escape Hoods," was managed by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, a regional authority located in Bootle, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically breathing apparatus for firefighting, classified with CPV code 35111100. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, utilising Lot 7 of the Devon and Somerset framework agreement DS314-20 for Respiratory Protective Equipment. The process has now reached the award stage, which was completed on 28th April 2025, with the contract being signed on 4th April 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in safety and protective equipment, particularly those focusing on respiratory protection devices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Semmco LPS Limited, who was awarded the contract, can find lucrative prospects by engaging with regionally-focused agencies like the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority. The specific nature of the equipment required and the direct award procedure used suggest that businesses with niche expertise in quality and performance-driven respiratory equipment are well-suited to compete in such tenders.
