## Summary

West Sussex County Council bought an Incident Command Unit vehicle for fire and rescue service use. The requirement was a joint procurement for four fire and rescue services: East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The purchase is classified as a goods requirement, with the associated classification covering fleet management, repair and maintenance services. Delivery is associated with West Sussex County Council at West Street, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 1RQ, in the South East of England. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of specialist emergency-service vehicles, particularly businesses able to provide an incident command vehicle for coordinated fire and rescue operations and support its fleet-related needs.

The procurement reached completion after a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2025 at 08:53, and the contract was awarded on 28 August 2025. Emergency One UK Ltd was selected, with an awarded value of £586,000. The contract runs from 4 September 2025 to 3 September 2030. The tender’s estimated value was also £586,000. The opportunity was assessed as a goods procurement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. The arrangement covers the joint requirement for the four named fire and rescue services, with West Sussex County Council acting as the buyer.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible supplier would need to design, manufacture or supply specialist incident command vehicles for fire and rescue operations. Relevant capability would include understanding the operational needs of multiple fire and rescue services and delivering a vehicle suitable for coordinated incident management. Experience with public-sector fleet requirements, emergency-service vehicle specifications, maintenance arrangements and whole-life support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that specialist smaller businesses can satisfy this kind of requirement when they have the necessary product and delivery capability. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off route and support a joint authority requirement spanning several services.
