Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "DS478-24 NFCC Emergency Response Vehicle Framework" is being led by the Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority on behalf of the National Fire Chiefs Council Transport Officers Group and in conjunction with the NFCC Procurement Hub. This open procedure aims to replace the existing framework for UK Fire and Rescue Emergency Response Vehicles. The framework, listed under the industry category "Emergency and Rescue Vehicles," allows for the procurement of Pumping Appliances, Aerial Appliances, Special Vehicles, and Vehicle Disposal. It is available to Contracting Authorities across the United Kingdom including Crown Dependencies, with the contract period beginning on 1st April 2026 and ending on 31st March 2034. The procurement stage has been completed with multiple suppliers being awarded active contracts as of 2nd April 2026.

This open framework presents substantial opportunities for business growth across the emergency response vehicle sector. SMEs, large-scale vehicle manufacturers, and agencies involved in vehicle procurement and management would find the scope to be comprehensive, encompassing new vehicle production, conversion, refurbishment, equipment supply and fitment, as well as end-of-life vehicle disposal services. Businesses with capabilities in providing such goods and services within the outlined regions like the UK, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and Jersey, can benefit from engaging in this framework, advancing their market presence and potentially securing significant governmental contracts over the eight-year duration, fostering both stability and expansion in the sector.
