Norfolk County Council, the buying organisation, is a public authority sub-central government body situated in Norwich, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Heightec Group Limited on 30th July 2025, and it is set to run from 31st July 2025 to 31st December 2026, with a gross value of £66,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying safety equipment, particularly those focusing on the emergency services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) such as Heightec Group Limited, which has already secured the contract, exemplify the types of businesses well-suited for this opportunity.
