Summary of the contracting process

The Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority has completed the tender process for the "Supply and Maintenance of Gas Monitors" contract. This procurement falls within the goods category and involves the provision of 5 Channel Gas Monitors that will support various fire and rescue operations. The procurement method was an open competition, classified as below the threshold. The award was made to Draeger Safety UK Ltd on 2nd June 2026, with a contract valued at £200,000 GBP. The contract commences on 1st July 2026 and will run for four years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The procurement serves the UKJ45 region, with the buyer located in Tovil, United Kingdom.

This successful tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety and monitoring equipment, particularly those focusing on gas-detection technology. Although the award was completed by a large supplier, the procurement process was open to SMEs, although none progressed to the final stage. Companies in the manufacturing and maintenance of gas-detection apparatus or similar wares could benefit by aligning their offerings to such public sector needs in future tenders. The contract underscores the demand for reliable safety equipment, providing a springboard for businesses aiming to expand in the public safety and fire services market.
