## Summary

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority procured replacement fire-service ladders: 13.5-inch and 10.5-inch ladders. The requirement is for fire ladders, rather than ladder repair, and is classified as goods. Delivery is for the authority’s operations in Essex, in the East of England. The purchase was made through a framework for the supply and repair of ladders, under its lot covering repairable rivet-type ladders that require no welding. This gives suppliers a clear indication of the equipment category and framework route involved in the authority’s requirement.

The procurement is complete and Supply Plus Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 30 September 2026, with a value of £80,831.65. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The authority used a direct award through the Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority framework agreement for ladder supply and repair, specifically its lot for repairable rivet-type ladders requiring no welding. The published description identifies the ladder sizes but gives no further evaluation basis or supplier qualification requirements. The procurement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers of fire-service ladders, this award is evidence that Essex’s fire and rescue authority buys replacement 13.5-inch and 10.5-inch ladders through a specialist ladder framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply these ladder types and be positioned to meet the framework’s scope, which includes repairable rivet-type ladders that do not require welding. The award demonstrates demand for ladder supply, rather than a general fire-service equipment package or a standalone repair contract. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier has delivered this requirement, despite the procurement being marked unsuitable for SMEs. Experience supplying fire and rescue organisations and the ability to supply the specified ladder sizes would be directly relevant.
