Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought fire hose-reel hoses for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services. The requirement covers 19mm and 22mm hoses in various lengths, for delivery in Northamptonshire. This is a goods procurement focused on supplying fire hoses, rather than a wider fire-service equipment or maintenance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold procurement. CMT Flexibles Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2029, with two 12-month extension options that could extend the term to 13 October 2031. The contract value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The requirement was handled as one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services, this award establishes a requirement for fire hose-reel hoses in two diameters and varied lengths. A credible competitor would need to supply these hose types in a range of lengths and serve delivery locations in Northamptonshire. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can fulfil this scale of requirement. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this purchase does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or published technical scoring criteria. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements should be positioned to supply the specified hoses and meet the fire service’s delivery needs.
