Summary of the contracting process

The Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority has completed the procurement process for the supply of gas tight suits and boots. This contract, specifically focused on firefighting, rescue, and safety equipment, falls under the industry category of goods. The process culminated in an award on 4th June 2026. The procurement method was limited due to it being below the threshold for extended competition. The geographic focus of the delivery extends to the East of England (region code UKH3). The contract is valued at £38,210.40, covering the period from 6th April 2026 to 30th June 2026. The winning supplier, Respirex International Ltd, is based in Redhill, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs operating within the safety equipment manufacturing sector. Businesses specialising in firefighting and rescue equipment are particularly well-suited for such contracts, especially those capable of offering bespoke protective gear tailored to rigorous safety standards. The structured and timely procurement process might serve as a model for future tenders, encouraging other local authorities to engage with a wider range of suppliers, thus expanding the market landscape for companies offering advanced safety solutions.
