Summary of the contracting process

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service procured maintenance and support for all station-end equipment. The requirement is a services contract focused on maintaining radio-communications equipment used at fire service stations. Delivery covers the Humberside Fire & Rescue Service’s operational estate in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Hull. The scope is relevant to businesses providing planned and reactive maintenance, technical support and service management for station communications equipment. It may suit specialist radio-communications maintenance providers, telecommunications service companies and systems integrators with the operational capability to support equipment across a fire and rescue service environment. The procurement concerns equipment maintenance rather than the supply of new communications equipment or construction works, and the recorded requirement was handled as a single service package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. One supplier was selected: Telent Technology Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 April 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £48,566.61 gross. The award covers the single station-end equipment maintenance lot and is classified as radio-communications equipment maintenance services. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender, as the buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold. This outcome shows that Humberside Fire & Rescue Service appointed an established supplier for a defined, single-package maintenance requirement, rather than dividing the work between multiple suppliers or lots.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the opportunity demonstrates a recurring operational need for specialist maintenance and support of fire and rescue station communications equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in radio-communications equipment maintenance, together with the capacity to support equipment across the buyer’s station network and maintain dependable service continuity. Experience serving emergency services or other operationally critical environments would help establish relevance, particularly where communications equipment supports frontline response. Suppliers should also be able to manage an end-to-end support service for a complete station-equipment estate, rather than offering only isolated repairs or supplying hardware. The appointed provider was a large technology services company, indicating that scale and the ability to provide structured technical support are commercially relevant to this buyer.
