Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "MTA First Aid Kits" was undertaken by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, a regional authority based in Bootle, United Kingdom, focused on public order and safety. This procurement falls under the industry category of medical consumables and follows a "Direct Award" method without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a limited procurement approach. The contract was signed on 8th May 2025, with a total value of £73,122, marking the award stage of this procurement process. The goods are intended for delivery in the UK, and the procurement is governed by the Emergency Medical Consumables & Equipment Framework Agreement.

This tender provides a substantial business opportunity for suppliers in the medical consumables domain, specifically small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in emergency medical equipment. Safeguard Medical Technologies Limited, based in Hereford, successfully captured the business opportunity, becoming the supplier for the first aid kits. Businesses with expertise in medical consumable products and possessing the capacity to fulfil such framework agreements would be well-suited to compete in similar direct award processes in the future, especially those looking to enhance their presence within the UK's emergency services sector.
