## Summary

The West Midlands Fire Service has completed a public procurement process calling off seven Type B Water Tenders and two Type B Water Tenders for Technical Rescue, with an option to purchase an additional four in the fiscal year 2026/2027. This procurement falls under the category of firefighting vehicles and is located within the United Kingdom's West Midlands region. The contract, awarded on 2 February 2026, is active and marks the completion of the tender phase, with a significant contract period extending until 2042. The procurement method used was selective, drawing from a framework agreement, and the total contract value is set at £4,917,033. The tender period had concluded by 26 September 2025, thus transitioning into the award phase.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in the manufacturing and supply of firefighting vehicles. Emergency One (UK) Limited, based in Scotland, successfully secured the contract, signifying the potential for similar large-scale manufacturers to compete in future tenders. The focus on Type B Water Tenders opens avenues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as this procurement specifically accommodated such entities. Businesses with expertise in emergency vehicle solutions and related technical rescue equipment are especially well-positioned to engage with similar procurements initiated by the West Midlands Fire Service or other similar authoritative bodies within the sector.
