UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by the London Fire Brigade involved the provision of eye examinations and the manufacture and provision of Aids to Vision (AtV), focusing on prescription safety glasses and other optical safety equipment. This tender, classified under the services category and specifically for optician services, was awarded on 20th October 2025. The procurement process, initiated through a selective method under a below-threshold framework, concluded with the award stage. The contract, valued at £195,000 exclusive of VAT, commenced on 1st May 2025 and will conclude on 31st December 2025. The geographical scope of the contract covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, with the supplier based in Bodiam, UK.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses operating within the optician services sector, particularly those capable of supplying prescription safety eyewear and related goods. It also provides an opening for SMEs specialising in manufacturing optical safety equipment to establish or strengthen their relationship with public sector bodies. Companies that specialise in tailored services for large organisations, such as emergency services, might find this type of contract fits well with their capabilities. Given the specific requirements and selective procurement method, businesses with proven expertise in fulfilling similar large-scale contracts might be well-suited to compete for future opportunities with the London Fire Brigade or similar organisations.
