Summary of the contracting process

The Cheshire Fire Authority has recently concluded a procurement process for emergency vehicles, specifically titled "Super Pumping Appliances", under a framework agreement known as the Devon and Somerset Framework Ref: DS3339-20. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Vehicles for the emergency services" and is located in the region of Cheshire, United Kingdom. The process reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 17th June 2026. The procurement method was limited, involving an award procedure without a prior call for competition, as the directive application was outside the scope. The process saw the involvement of only two bids, with values ranging from £1,200,000 to £20,000,000, and was executed as a goods procurement category.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying emergency vehicles. Suitable contenders would include large-scale automotive suppliers with capabilities in technical performance, support, warranty, and timely delivery. The awarded contract to Emergency One (UK) Ltd, a large-scale enterprise, highlights the need for expertise in producing highly specialised vehicles tailored for emergency services. Businesses looking to expand in the public sector, particularly within fire and rescue services, would find entering such frameworks beneficial for growth and long-term partnerships with local authorities.
