Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority has completed the procurement process for the "Contract for the Provision of Standpipes_2025 - 2030." This tender, categorised under the goods industry with CPV classification for standpipe valves, was conducted under a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value. The procurement process culminated in the awarding of the contract on 29 September 2025, with a start date of 1 October 2025, and it covers locations across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The total contract value is set at £16,800 gross, with a duration spanning from 2025 until 2030.

This contract provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying standpipe valves, particularly those equipped to fulfil public authority contracts. Companies like SMEs that can offer competitive solutions and timely delivery within the specified areas will be well-suited to engage and potentially grow through such projects. The engagement of Walter Frank & Sons Limited as the supplier for this initiative underscores the potential for SMEs to successfully compete in procurement processes through specialised expertise and strategic market positioning.
