UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, initiated by Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority, a sub-central government public authority located in Worcester, United Kingdom. The invitation pertains to the purchase of PPE Clothing, classified under protective and safety clothing, with delivery scheduled to various regions across the UK. The contract is governed by the NFCC National Fire Fighter PPE Framework, with a planned contract period from 18th June 2026 to 17th June 2036, potentially extending to 17th June 2038. The procurement method is selective, conducted as an award under a framework agreement, and the estimated gross value amounts to £666,000. The tender is competitive, involving goods acquisition above the financial threshold, and is suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in safety and protective wear, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to expand their market presence and secure a long-term partnership with a reputable public authority. Companies with expertise or capacity to supply PPE are well-positioned to compete, especially those that can accommodate the regional delivery requirements across the UK. The adoption of a framework agreement underscores the potential for ongoing procurement opportunities through this established process, enabling businesses to scale operations and increase their portfolio within the public sector. Engaging in this tender could provide significant growth prospects, leveraging the broad distribution network required for fulfillment across multiple UK regions.
