Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority involved the purchase of a prime mover and mass decontamination module under the title "Purchase of Prime Mover and Module". Classified within the industry category of "Specialist vehicles", this tender was centred around the acquisition of goods. The tender used a limited procurement method without prior publication, indicating a direct award approach. This process falls under the legal framework of the EU Directive, yet was classified as outside its scope. The procurement status is marked complete with the contract awarded on 13th May 2025 to Gloucestershire County Council, a large-scale supplier. The procurement activities were intended for delivery across regions like UKC, UKD, UKE, and several others in the UK. Although one lot was planned, it was ultimately cancelled.

This contract presents moderate business growth opportunities primarily for public bodies or suppliers who can engage directly with government agencies for second-hand equipment transactions. Given the specific nature of the goods involved—specialist vehicles—companies specialised in such areas or those already dealing with regional or local authorities would find themselves particularly well-suited for similar opportunities. The straightforward, price-focused award criteria and the absence of extensive competitive procedures might also appeal to suppliers benefiting from direct government partnerships. Collaboration with entities such as the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority can further establish reputational credibility and provide future tendering benefits.
