UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority bought 105 high-rise branches for use in its fire and rescue operations. High-rise branches are specialist firefighting equipment used to deliver water at incidents involving tall buildings; the associated classification identifies fire hoses. The requirement is for goods rather than services, works or installation. The buying organisation is a public fire and rescue authority based in Sheffield, serving South Yorkshire. This opportunity is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of firefighting water-delivery equipment, particularly businesses able to provide high-rise branches in a substantial batch and meet the operational requirements of a fire and rescue service. The procurement concerns equipment supply to this authority, rather than general building, maintenance or consultancy work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to DELTA FIRE LIMITED on 13 July 2026. One completed lot covered the requirement. The contract is active and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. Its value is £52,169.25 excluding VAT, or £62,603.10 including VAT. The award covered the supply of the 105 high-rise branches. The published outcome identifies DELTA FIRE LIMITED, an SME based in Norwich, as the selected supplier. This was a non-competitive below-threshold purchase rather than an open tender, so the recorded route did not involve competing bids or a stated comparative evaluation exercise.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of specialist firefighting equipment. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to supply high-rise branches or closely equivalent fire-hose delivery equipment, demonstrate reliable product quality and safety, and manage delivery of 105 units as a single operational purchase. Relevant businesses include manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist fire-sector suppliers with stock, sourcing arrangements and quality assurance suitable for public fire and rescue use. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be fulfilled by a focused specialist rather than only a large corporate provider. Understanding the authority’s equipment needs, product specification and purchasing route would help suppliers prepare for comparable future demand from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority.
