This procurement initiative, classified under Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment, operates under a Restricted procedure method and aims to renew the existing ERRE framework through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The DPS period is extended from 2017/06/2022 to 23/02/2029, subject to annual reviews and performance evaluations, with the first decision on contract duration slated for 10/03/2024. The procurement status is active and documents are accessible through YPO's new e-tendering portal. This opportunity provides a lucrative avenue for businesses specialising in emergency response equipment, protective clothing, rescue tools, and associated products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to engage, given the suitability provisions within the tender. Businesses offering innovative solutions in areas like thermal imaging cameras, portable shelters, and smoke control equipment stand a promising chance in this competitive selective procurement process, potentially securing a share in contracts valued at approximately £40 million. The DPS allows for continuous submission of bids, enabling businesses to tailor their offerings promptly to meet evolving public sector demands. ## Notice Emergency Response and Rescue Equipment for the Emergency Services and Wider Public Sector. This DPS is a renewal of the existing 000865 ERRE framework. It is to provide a compliant route to market for a range of emergency response equipment and garments. The DPS has a strong focus on Fire and Rescue Services and their requirements but is not restricted. It will be open to all public sector customers and marketed to all who have a relevant requirement for the products on offer. Proposed lot structure: 1.

Following the initial establishment, the DPS will remain open for any Suppliers to submit a bid at any point until the closing date of the DPS. The initial DPS will cover the period from 17/06/2022 to 23/02/2029. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of the 2nd year (10/03/2024). This will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures.
