Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority bought hydraulic hoses to support the safe continued use of its existing hydraulic rescue equipment and replace hoses that had exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended ten-year life. The requirement covered 57 C 10 OU core hoses and 57 C 10 ZU core hoses, classified as fire hoses. This is a goods supply requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for fire and rescue services. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of hydraulic or fire-rescue hoses, particularly those able to provide hoses compatible with established rescue equipment and suitable for safety-critical operational use. The single lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large business.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The award was made to TERBERG DTS (UK) LIMITED on 3 August 2026 for £148,999.80 excluding VAT, or £178,799.76 including VAT. The award period was 19 August 2026 to 18 February 2027. A contract was signed on 18 September 2026, with an active contract period from 18 September 2026 to 17 March 2027, at the same value. The award covered one lot and the evaluation basis was the authority’s direct procurement route rather than a competitive assessment. The requirement was classified under CPV 44482100, fire hoses. TERBERG DTS (UK) LIMITED is the named supplier.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates a requirement for specialist hydraulic hoses used with existing hydraulic rescue equipment, including defined C 10 OU and C 10 ZU core-hose specifications. Credible competitors would need to supply compatible products rather than general-purpose hoses, understand manufacturer recommendations for equipment whose hoses have reached the end of their service life, and support the safety and operational reliability expected in fire and rescue use. Relevant capability includes dependable sourcing or manufacture, technical product knowledge, quality assurance and the capacity to supply a substantial matched quantity of hoses. Businesses operating in the fire-rescue equipment supply chain, including smaller specialist firms, are the clearest fit. Familiarity with below-threshold public-sector purchasing and direct-award requirements would also be commercially useful for understanding this buyer’s route to market.
