## Summary

The West Midlands Fire Service is initiating a procurement process for the "Personal Gas Monitor and Associated Equipment Framework," aimed at suppliers in the gas-detection apparatus industry. This planning phase will establish a national framework agreement to provide gas monitors essential for the safety of personnel in the Blue Light Sector across the UK, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands. Suppliers interested in this opportunity must submit an expression of interest by 10th January 2022, with initial engagement already underway as of 9th December 2021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in safety and monitoring equipment, particularly those providing innovative gas-detection solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework aligns well with their capabilities to deliver niche products for critical services. Competitors in this space should focus on demonstrating their expertise in safety technology and their ability to meet the rigorous requirements of public sector procurement processes.

## Notice

Gas monitoring is essential to the safety of Firefighters, Police Officers, EMT's and Paramedics. How to detect, identify and monitor harmful substances is key to determine the levels of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and risk to Firefighters, Police Officers, EMT's, Paramedics and the public. To express an interest in this framework agreement please complete the attached form and email to procurement@wmfs.net. Please respond by Monday 10th January 2022.
