## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Norfolk County Council aimed to acquire Technical Rescue Units (TRUs) for the Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service. These specialised firefighting vehicles, which handle complex incidents such as water and animal rescues and potentially larger road traffic collisions, are set to replace outdated equipment. This procurement, classified under the industry category 'Firefighting vehicles', concluded with an award stage on 5th December 2025. The selected supplier, Emergency One (UK) Limited, will provide four TRUs under a contract commencing on 9th December 2025 and lasting until 8th December 2040. This procurement proceeded through a 'Call-off from a framework agreement' under Lot 5 of the NFCC Framework for emergency response vehicles, with the procurement method being 'selective'. The contract is valued at £636,867, and the delivery location is specified as the East of England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in the manufacturing and supply of emergency response vehicles. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in this area could find such tenders particularly appealing due to the county's supportive procurement suitability criteria. By participating in similar future opportunities, SMEs can enhance their market presence within the public sector and build a reputation in providing crucial safety infrastructure. Furthermore, companies familiar with the framework agreement procurement process can streamline contract acquisition, enabling efficient entry into public procurement markets. This contract not only serves current operational needs but establishes long-term relationships with public sector bodies, enhancing strategic positions for continued business expansion.
