## Summary

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority is buying various items of equipment to help urban search and rescue teams work safely at height. This is a goods contract for safety equipment, delivered in England. The requirement concerns equipment for rescue operations rather than general fire-fighting or security supplies, so suppliers should have products suited to working-at-height tasks in an urban search and rescue setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Abaris International Limited. The award was made on 3 September 2026, with a contract period from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. The awarded value is £67,924.62. The authority used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 24 July 2026 at 16:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The requirement is recorded as one contract for equipment; the evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority for specialist working-at-height equipment for urban search and rescue teams. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a range of suitable equipment and understand the practical safety demands of rescue work at height. The selection of a supplier through a dynamic purchasing system call-off shows that suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to participate through that route. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, and the successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of equipment supply can be served by a smaller business. Relevant product range and ability to meet operational rescue requirements are the clearest commercial strengths for this buyer’s requirement.
