Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority is buying defibrillators for its fire and rescue service. This is a supply requirement for medical equipment, with delivery in Merseyside. The procurement was arranged through the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub framework, so the requirement is specifically for defibrillators supplied under that framework rather than a broader medical equipment contract. The authority is the buyer and the equipment is intended for its public safety operations. The single lot covered the supply of defibrillators. This provides a clear reference point for businesses supplying defibrillators and related equipment to fire and rescue services, particularly those able to supply through the named collaborative framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SP Services (UK) Ltd. The award date was not published; the contract was signed on 15 October 2026. The signed contract value is £96,499. The contract is active, and the stated term includes an option for one additional six-month period. The authority used a direct award under the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub framework, without publishing a call for competition. Price was the stated evaluation criterion. One bid was recorded for the lot. The lot itself is marked cancelled, although an active award and active contract are also recorded for it; the outcome reported here is the active award and contract to SP Services (UK) Ltd.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future defibrillator requirements, the award shows a focused equipment purchase rather than a wider service or installation contract. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable defibrillators and be able to participate through the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub framework, since the authority used that route for this purchase. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so competitive pricing is directly relevant. The awarded supplier is an SME, demonstrating that a business of that scale has supplied the requirement, although the data does not establish a minimum or preferred supplier size. Suppliers with a dependable ability to provide the equipment to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority’s operational area would be well placed to compete when comparable demand arises.
