Summary of the contracting process

Cleveland Fire Authority procured fire gloves and flash hoods for fire-service use. The requirement was for protective equipment and clothing, divided into two lots: flash hoods and fire gloves. The procurement record gives Hartlepool as the authority’s base, but does not identify a delivery place beyond the UK. The contract was placed through a further competition under YPO’s framework for personal protective equipment, workwear, uniforms and managed services. This is a specialist supply opportunity for businesses providing fire-service protective equipment, rather than a general clothing or equipment contract.

The procurement is recorded as complete, with Eagle Technical Products Ltd selected and an active contract recorded. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and is valued at £108,000. No award date or contract duration is recorded. The authority used a limited procedure and ran a further competition through the YPO framework; seven bids were received, and price was the stated criterion for both lots. The source describes the procurement as split between flash hoods and fire gloves, while both lot records show cancelled status. The contract itself is recorded as active, so the lot statuses do not establish that the overall contract was cancelled.

This award shows demand from Cleveland Fire Authority for both fire gloves and flash hoods, bought through a further competition under an established PPE and workwear framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply suitable fire-service protective equipment across these product types and offer pricing strong enough to compete on price. Seven bids were received for this exercise, and the selected supplier’s proposal was described as the most competitive. The buyer’s requirement was for goods, not installation or a wider service, so suppliers with relevant product supply capability and the ability to price competitively are the closest fit.
