UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority procured promotional information products for delivery across Wales. The requirement covers three areas: printed stationery, promotional printed clothing, and other promotional corporate items. The buying organisations are public authorities, with South Wales Fire and Rescue Service acting as the buyer. The goods support the fire and rescue services’ promotional and corporate communications needs. The stationery lot covers printed stationery; the clothing lot covers printed garments; and the corporate lot covers miscellaneous printed promotional items. This is a goods procurement rather than a service or construction opportunity, and is relevant to suppliers with production, personalisation, fulfilment and distribution capabilities across these product categories.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Each of the three lots was awarded to Allwag Promotions Ltd, The Purple Company (UK) Ltd and Sional Ltd. Lot 1, Stationery, has a contract value of £54,000 excluding VAT (£65,000 gross); Lot 2, Clothing, has the same value; and Lot 3, Corporate, also has the same value. Contracts were signed on 3 July 2026 and run from 4 July 2026 to 3 July or 4 July 2029, depending on the lot, with an optional 12-month extension. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. The closed framework uses mini-competitions among appointed suppliers for each order.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from two Welsh fire and rescue authorities for branded printed goods across stationery, clothing and miscellaneous corporate merchandise. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to produce and personalise printed materials and garments, manage varied promotional product ranges, and fulfil orders reliably for public-sector customers. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, as shown by the procurement’s stated SME suitability and the appointment of three SME suppliers. Credible competitors would also need to perform well on both commercial pricing and demonstrable quality, since those were the evaluation priorities. Experience coordinating deliveries across Wales and supporting repeated orders through mini-competitions would strengthen a supplier’s position when similar requirements return.
