Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council bought first-aid materials and associated products, together with automated external defibrillators and accessories. The two parts cover everyday first-aid supplies and equipment for responding to cardiac emergencies. The goods are for delivery in the Fife Council area, including Glenrothes and the wider Fife region. This is a goods procurement, classified under medical and first-aid supplies (CPV 33141623). The defibrillator requirement is also classified as electric defibrillators. The procurement was made through Scotland Excel’s framework for personal protective equipment and first-aid materials, with Fife Council using an overarching strategy to make the awards.

The procurement is complete and both contracts are active. Fife Council awarded the first-aid materials and associated products contract to Fast Aid Products Ltd for £260,000, and the automated external defibrillators contract to Caley Print & Stationery Limited, trading as The Caley Group, for £20,000. Both contracts were signed on 9 October 2026; no contract period is stated. The council used a restricted award without publishing a prior call for competition, through the Scotland Excel framework. The two lots were assessed separately: price benchmarking determined the successful supplier for first-aid materials, while the council’s overarching strategy informed the awards. One bid was recorded for each lot; both awarded suppliers are small businesses.

This buying pattern is relevant to suppliers of first-aid consumables and associated products, and to suppliers of automated external defibrillators and compatible accessories. Fife Council used a Scotland Excel framework and an overarching procurement strategy, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to participate through that framework. The first-aid materials lot was decided on price benchmarking, making competitive pricing important for that range. The defibrillator lot shows separate demand for emergency-response equipment and accessories. The awards went to two small businesses, one for each lot. A credible competitor would therefore need to supply the relevant product range and price it competitively; the available information does not indicate additional technical qualifications or accreditations.
