Summary of the contracting process

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Combined Fire Authority bought 27 thermal imaging cameras in a one-off purchase for firefighting and rescue use. These are specialist safety equipment for locating people and identifying heat sources in smoky or low-visibility incidents. The equipment was delivered within Leicestershire and Rutland. The procurement was a single lot, covering the camera purchase rather than a wider equipment or service package.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CLAN TOOLS & PLANT LIMITED. The authority used a below-threshold route. The recorded contract value is £33,852.50 excluding VAT, or £40,668.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 9 October to 8 November 2026. The award is active, as is the contract. The process covered one lot. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available procurement details.

For suppliers assessing comparable demand from this fire authority, the purchase indicates a requirement for a defined batch of 27 thermal imaging cameras, rather than a long-term service or maintenance contract. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable firefighting and rescue equipment in a quantity of this order and deliver across the authority’s Leicestershire and Rutland area. The selected supplier, CLAN TOOLS & PLANT LIMITED, is recorded as an SME, showing that a small or medium-sized supplier was able to fulfil this purchase. The procurement was handled through a below-threshold route, so suppliers should be prepared to respond to a proportionate purchasing process for a focused equipment requirement.
