Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Lancashire Combined Fire Authority pertains to the supply of Breathing Apparatus and Associated Items under the industry category "Breathing apparatus for firefighting" (CPV code: 35111100). This tender falls within the procurement of goods and spans several lots, although all are currently cancelled. The procurement method employed was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, suggesting a tailored approach possibly for reasons outside standard directive applications. The contract was ultimately awarded to Interspiro Limited, with a signing date of 1st January 2026 and valued at £1,654,784.13. The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service located in Preston, UKD45 region, serves as both the buyer and review body.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in firefighting equipment, particularly in manufacturing and supplying breathing apparatus. Large manufacturers or suppliers with experience in fulfilling contracts for regional agencies could benefit from similar opportunities, given Interspiro Limited’s successful bid that likely leverages its scale and expertise in providing firefighting equipment. Such tenders cater to businesses capable of meeting specific regional requirements and navigating limited procurement methods, highlighting the niche but pivotal nature of the procurement process. Engaging in such contracts enables businesses to expand their footprint within governmental or regional agency sectors, amplifying strategic growth in specialised equipment provision.
