Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority procured stationwear and associated products for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service. The requirement covers occupational clothing, specialist workwear and accessories, supplied through the YPO framework agreement for uniform workwear. Delivery is in Merseyside, with Bootle and Liverpool identified as the authority and supplier locations. This is a goods procurement intended to provide the fire and rescue service with the uniform workwear it needs. The contract was awarded to Contact Left Limited, based in Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Contact Left Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026, with an awarded contract value of £85,000. The tender lists no contract period or end date. The authority used a direct award through YPO framework agreement 1204, Lot 12, without a separate call for competition. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled in the tender information, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome names Contact Left Limited as the supplier. The authority is Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority.

For suppliers targeting this buyer’s future stationwear requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a bundled supply of uniform workwear and associated products through an established framework route. A credible competitor would need to provide occupational clothing, specialist workwear and accessories suitable for a fire and rescue service, and be able to supply the range as a joined-up offer. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so competitive pricing would be central to a future comparable competition. The selected supplier is a large Liverpool-based company, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a supplier operating at substantial scale; firms should be able to demonstrate the capacity and distribution capability to serve the service across Merseyside. Familiarity with the relevant YPO framework lot would also be important if the buyer uses the same route again.
