UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured PPE lockers for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services. This is a goods requirement covering lockers and associated racking, intended for the storage of personal protective equipment. Delivery is within Northamptonshire. The purchasing organisation is a sub-central public authority, while the operational user is the county’s fire and rescue service. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist storage suppliers able to provide PPE locker systems or comparable secure storage equipment for emergency-service facilities. The procurement concerns physical products rather than a standalone consultancy, maintenance or general facilities-management service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. Total Storage Systems Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 23 July 2026. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2027. Its value is £31,180 excluding VAT, or £37,416 including VAT. The procurement used a direct procedure, with no competitive tender or evaluation criteria recorded. This outcome shows that the buyer sourced one defined PPE-locker requirement through a below-threshold direct award, rather than through an open multi-supplier competition or a framework call-off.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement identifies a specific storage requirement within Northamptonshire’s fire and rescue service: PPE lockers and racking for operational use. Businesses well placed for similar requirements will have a credible range of secure locker and storage products, the ability to match equipment to emergency-service environments, and capacity to deliver a complete goods order at modest public-sector scale. Specialist storage manufacturers, distributors and SMEs are relevant comparators, as the selected supplier was an SME. Suppliers should be able to present clear product specifications, dependable fulfilment and evidence that their locker and racking systems meet the practical demands of storing firefighter personal protective equipment.
