Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Smoke Alarms," was initiated by Cleveland Fire Authority, a regional authority based in Hartlepool, United Kingdom. This process, under the "goods" category, focused on smoke-detection apparatus, with a reference to the CPV classification 38431200. The procedure employed was selective, following a restricted method. Despite the procurement being in the 'complete' stage as of 28 October 2025, the lots within this tender, specific to supplying smoke and sensory loss alarms, were ultimately cancelled. The awarded contract, however, saw Fireblitz Extinguisher Ltd securing a value of £596,398.52, effective from 1 April 2025.

This tender presented opportunities predominantly for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying smoke-detection apparatus. Companies capable of offering competitive pricing and high-quality service were well-positioned to compete, as these elements were critical criteria for evaluation. Although the specific lots were cancelled, similar opportunities remain valuable for businesses aiming to expand in providing safety equipment to public service bodies across multiple regions including the North East and other parts of the UK.
