Summary of the contracting process

The Kent and Medway Towns Fire and Rescue Authority, representing the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), has completed the procurement process for 'Lot 7 (Lightweight Firefighting PPE)' aimed at supplying lightweight firefighting personal protective equipment. This involves a framework agreement with a term of up to 8 years and a potential renewal in 2029 and between 2032 and 2033. The procurement followed an open, competitive flexible procedure, and the process concluded with awarding framework agreements to the four successful suppliers—Ballyclare Ltd, Flamepro Global, Hunter Apparel Solutions Ltd, and Sioen. The procurement is categorised under 'goods' within the industry of protective clothing and firefighting equipment, with deliveries intended across various UK regions. The procurement stands at an estimated value of GBP 75,604,485.15, and the standstill period is set to end on 9 May 2026, with formal contracts commencing on 11 May 2026 through to 29 March 2034.

This awarded contract presents substantial opportunities for SMEs, given that all the successful suppliers fall within this scale and that the procurement is structured to accommodate new entrants upon framework renewal. The competitive flexible procedure employed allows businesses to demonstrate their capabilities through criteria focusing 70% on quality and 30% on price. Suitable businesses include those with the capacity to supply specialised firefighting and occupational protective clothing, have a foothold in the production of industrial and speciality clothing, or feature robust quality control measures suited to public health and safety standards. Regional diversity in the delivery locations suggests additional opportunities for local supply chains to collaborate and expand in service provision partnerships with the awarded suppliers, bolstering economic growth across multiple regions.

The evaluation process for the tender stage will include wearer trials and site visits. It is intended that up to 4 successful suppliers will each be awarded a Framework Agreement (subject to the Contracting Authority's discretion to increase the number of successful suppliers beyond 4). Participating Authorities will be able to enter into a Call-Off Agreement under the Framework Agreement following the call-off procedure. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to charge a levy to the successful suppliers as set out within the draft ITT. Where there is more than 1 successful supplier, it is intended that each Framework Agreement will have a maximum term of 8 years. It is anticipated that the successive frameworks will re-open as follows: in (i) March 2029 and (ii) between March 2032 and March 2033. These dates may be subject to change at the discretion of the Contracting Authority."
