Summary of the contracting process

Humberside Fire & Rescue Service procured three B Class fire appliances for its operational fleet. This is a goods supply requirement, classified under CPV 34144213 for fire engines. The buyer is a public fire and rescue service based at its headquarters in Hull. The appliances are intended for delivery and use in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns the provision of complete emergency response vehicles rather than general vehicle hire, routine servicing or unrelated firefighting equipment. It is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, specialist emergency vehicle bodybuilders, and established suppliers able to provide B Class fire appliances to a fire and rescue authority’s operational requirements. The procurement covered one lot and was linked to a framework arrangement used by the authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure under a framework agreement. The process was competitive. Emergency One (UK) Limited was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 26 August 2026. The contract value is £1,118,700 excluding VAT, or £1,342,440 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an extension option allowing the arrangement to run until 30 September 2029. The initial term is based on delivery of one fire appliance, with the authority able to extend for up to two additional appliances. The single lot is complete and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates established demand from Humberside Fire & Rescue Service for specialist B Class fire appliances and shows that the authority uses a competitive framework route for this type of purchase. Suppliers positioned for a future requirement would need the ability to design, manufacture or supply complete fire engines for operational emergency response, and to meet the technical and service expectations of a fire and rescue authority. They would also need sufficient production and delivery capacity for an initial appliance and possible additional vehicles, while managing a staged supply arrangement. Relevant competitors are likely to be specialist emergency vehicle manufacturers, bodybuilders, framework suppliers and authorised partners with demonstrable experience delivering comparable appliances to UK public-sector fire services.
