## Summary

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue procured a Multiforce G3 Air Lifting Bag System and associated parts. This is a goods requirement for lifting and handling equipment, including related equipment and components (CPV 42400000). The purchasing organisation is South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, based in Sheffield, and delivery is associated with Sheffield, England. The requirement is intended to support the fire and rescue service’s operational lifting and handling needs. The equipment category will be relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of air lifting bag systems, rescue lifting equipment and compatible parts. The requirement is for a complete system and associated components rather than a general equipment supply, so businesses should be able to provide the specified Multiforce G3 system and its related parts as an integrated supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue awarded the contract to Vimpex Limited on 18 August 2026. The awarded value is £221,750.88 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a goods purchase under a selective framework call-off route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and Vimpex Limited is the selected supplier for the equipment system and associated parts.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue for specialist air lifting equipment and compatible parts, purchased through a framework call-off. It provides a useful reference point for manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist rescue-equipment suppliers that want to compete for comparable requirements from this buyer in future. A credible competitor would need to supply the Multiforce G3 Air Lifting Bag System, provide the associated parts as part of the same requirement, and understand the operational expectations of a fire and rescue service. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist businesses can be relevant where they have the product access, supply capacity and framework route needed to support this type of equipment purchase.
