Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by West Sussex County Council, located in Chichester, involved the direct procurement method for the provision of Breathing Apparatus Servicing and Maintenance support for the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The procurement, classified under the goods category with a focus on safety equipment, was completed with Revolution Air Services Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Gloucester. The contract, active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a potential one-year extension, signifies a gross value of £111,822 GBP. The procurement stage has advanced to the award and contract phase as of the latest update on 12th June 2026.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment maintenance services. Given the nature of the contract, companies with experience in servicing and maintaining breathing apparatus, particularly those with a focus on public safety sectors such as fire and rescue services, would be well-suited to compete. The absence of competition during the direct procurement process suggests that similar future opportunities might arise without the need for a competitive tender, providing a pathway for businesses to establish strong relationships with key public sector clients like West Sussex County Council.
