The West Midlands Fire Service has completed a procurement process for the supply of smoking aprons, FR throws, and FR rubber mats aimed at aiding vulnerable community members during Safe and Well visits. The procurement process concluded with the contract being awarded on 13th May 2026, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from the Safe and Well Equipment Framework C5682.
