UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured firefighting equipment and associated services for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services. The requirement covers the supply of firefighting equipment, classified under CPV 35111000, together with related services. Delivery is associated with Northamptonshire and the surrounding East Midlands service area. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Wellingborough. This is a goods-led requirement with a services element, relevant to manufacturers, distributors and service providers supplying operational firefighting equipment to fire and rescue organisations. The contract is intended to support the equipment needs of Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services rather than a general facilities or construction requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. Draeger Safety UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 6 September 2030. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The tender comprised one lot, covering the complete firefighting equipment and services requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records a single supplier and a single awarded requirement for the buyer.

This award indicates established demand from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services for firefighting equipment supported by associated services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply equipment suitable for operational fire and rescue use, maintain dependable product availability and provide the supporting service capability needed by a public emergency-service organisation. Relevant businesses are likely to include equipment manufacturers, specialist distributors and firms able to combine supply with servicing or technical support. The incumbent is a large supplier, so competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable organisational capacity, product knowledge and reliable delivery across the Northamptonshire service area. Experience working with fire and rescue customers would strengthen their position.
