Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured new and replacement furniture for “close call” houses provided to operational personnel on call. The requirement covers furnishing accommodation at various fire station locations across West Yorkshire, supporting a consistent standard for personnel using these facilities. It is a goods contract focused on furniture and related furnishings rather than construction, facilities management or fire equipment. Relevant suppliers are furniture manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and installation businesses able to provide domestic or operational accommodation furniture across multiple sites. The buying organisation is West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority, based in Bradford. Delivery and service activity is across West Yorkshire, with requirements arising at fire station locations rather than at one central premises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. FMS Interior Services Ltd, an SME, was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award and contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The award date was 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 12 September 2026 to 11 September 2028, with two optional one-year extensions available, potentially extending the arrangement to 11 September 2030. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the stated method was direct award, below threshold and without competition. The contract is active and the procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a consistent furniture supply service across fire station accommodation used by on-call operational personnel. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine a broad range of durable domestic furniture with dependable sourcing, order fulfilment and delivery to multiple locations. The ability to handle new and replacement items is important, as is maintaining consistent standards across different close call houses. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to coordinate deliveries around fire station locations, respond to individual replacement requirements and provide reliable customer service throughout a multi-year arrangement. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, as shown by the selected SME supplier, so smaller furniture specialists with suitable distribution and multi-site delivery capability may be well placed for similar requirements from this buyer.
