Summary of the contracting process

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service procured three B Class fire appliances, classified as fire engines, for its operational fleet. The buying organisation is based in Hull, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement centred on the manufacture and supply of specialist emergency-response vehicles rather than general vehicle leasing, maintenance or unrelated equipment. The requirement is for complete fire appliances suitable for a fire and rescue service, so relevant businesses are vehicle manufacturers, specialist emergency vehicle builders and suppliers able to provide appliances to public-sector operational requirements. The procurement was managed by Humberside Fire & Rescue Service as the public buyer, with the awarded supplier delivering the appliances under the resulting arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 August 2026 to Emergency One (UK) Limited. It used a selective procedure through a competitive award under a framework agreement, with one completed lot. The award is £1,118,700 excluding VAT (£1,342,440 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option to extend to 30 September 2029. The initial term covers delivery of one fire appliance; the Authority may extend for up to two additional appliances, making three in all under the stated requirement. A contract signature was scheduled for 28 August 2026. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This award identifies a clear specialist market for B Class fire appliances for Humberside Fire & Rescue Service. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be established emergency vehicle manufacturers or specialist integrators able to design, build and supply complete fire engines for operational firefighting use. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that the business can meet a fire and rescue authority’s vehicle specification, manage production and delivery of at least one appliance, and scale supply to as many as three vehicles where options are exercised. Experience supplying comparable appliances to public-sector or emergency-service customers would help demonstrate understanding of operational requirements, fleet integration and delivery control. The competitive framework route also shows the value of framework access and compliant public procurement capability.
