Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority bought firefighting personal protective equipment boots for use across England. The requirement was for specialist protective footwear, under CPV 18800000, supplied to locations spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement was a single requirement for firefighting boots, connected to the buyer’s operational fire and rescue services. The purchasing organisation is Cleveland Fire Authority, based in Hartlepool. The supply was sourced through the PPE, workwear, uniform and managed services framework operated by YPO, specifically its fire protective boots and specialist footwear category. This is a goods requirement rather than a works or service contract, and is relevant to manufacturers, specialist footwear suppliers, distributors and framework providers serving fire and rescue organisations.

The procurement has been completed and an active award was made to Eagle Technical Products Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 July 2025. The award followed a limited further-competition procedure without prior publication of a wider call for competition, using the YPO framework. Six returns were received and evaluated on price. Valid bids ranged from £45,369 to £82,208; the awarded value is not stated. The requirement included options described as two further 12-month periods. The tender record shows the single lot as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active, so the outcome is the active award to Eagle Technical Products Ltd. No award date or contract end date is provided. Cleveland Fire Authority was the buyer, and the procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Cleveland Fire Authority for specialist firefighting boots serving fire and rescue operations across England. A credible future competitor would need to supply protective footwear suitable for firefighters, understand the performance and durability expectations of fire-service personal protective equipment, and support delivery across a geographically broad operational requirement. The buying route is also important: the successful supplier competed through the YPO PPE, workwear, uniform and managed services framework, so framework access or a route to participate in comparable further competitions would be commercially significant. Six suppliers returned bids, indicating competition from an established specialist market. Eagle Technical Products Ltd is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately capable specialist supplier rather than only by a large national business.
