Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire led a tender for the Provision of Smoke Alarms, under the procurement method described as "Below threshold - without competition." The process, tagged as completed, involved the delivery of 2000 smoke alarms intended for the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service. The tender occurred in Wellingborough, UK, with the contract running from 28 July 2025 until 31 July 2025. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically in fire-alarm and smoke-detection systems. The details signify a direct award to Fire Angel Safety Technology Limited, a large supplier based in Gloucester.

This contract offered significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire and smoke-detection technologies. Given the targeted procurement method without competition, it specifically benefitted large established firms with proven capabilities in delivering extensive orders within short timeframes. Smaller businesses or those new to the industry might have found it more challenging to meet such requirements without a prior track record. Nonetheless, engaging in such projects could pave the way for future opportunities in public sector procurement as these operations often establish long-term partnerships with contracting authorities.
