Summary of the contracting process

The London Fire Commissioner has initiated a planned procurement process for the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) within the goods industry category. This procurement is a pipeline notice, indicating future opportunities, and is still at the planning stage. The contracting authority, a sub-central government public authority based in London, intends to invite tenders for safety clothing, medical equipment, and fire-protection equipment. The total estimated procurement value is £80,000,000 gross, with an expected contract period from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2028. This opportunity is scheduled to be formally advertised by 1 September 2026, with deliveries to be made in the UK region.

This procurement offers substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in protective clothing, safety equipment, and related medical and fire-protection products. Businesses that are classified as SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) will find this tender particularly accessible. The significant budget and scope for supplying essential PPE to a major public authority present a promising chance for such businesses to expand their operations, establish a foothold in the public procurement market, and form a valuable partnership with the London Fire Commissioner.
