## Summary

The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority has initiated a tender process titled "Invitation to Tender Framework Agreement for Supply and Delivery of Emergency Response Equipment and Associated Services." This procurement, classified under the firefighting, rescue, and safety equipment industry, is being carried out according to the open procedure defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender period ended on 10 May 2021, with the contract scheduled to commence on 2 August 2021 and conclude on 1 August 2025. The total estimated contract value is £45,200,000, covering various lots for emergency response equipment, including rescue equipment and thermal imaging cameras, for participating Fire and Rescue Authorities across the UK and its territories.

This framework agreement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in emergency response equipment and related services, particularly those holding or willing to obtain insurance cover for public liability and product liability. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is designed to be inclusive. Companies that can meet the specified criteria and provide innovative products in the firefighting sector will find this an excellent avenue for growth, given the critical nature of the services and equipment required by fire and rescue services across the UK.

## Notice

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), in consultation with its members, has identified a preference for the future procurement of Emergency Response Equipment and Associated Services, to be undertaken on a 'sector led' basis i.e. a lead Fire and Rescue Service. West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority (the Authority) has agreed to take the role of 'Lead Authority' to establish a Framework Agreement for Supply and Delivery of Emergency Response Equipment and Associated Services on behalf of the Participating Services, Participating Customers and their Agents. The Authority is conducting a tender exercise in accordance with the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, following the open tender procedure. The new Framework Agreement will be available to access by the Participating Services, which shall include the Fire and Rescue Authorities in England; Scotland; Wales; Northern Ireland; the States of Jersey; Guernsey and Isle of Man; including their trading arms and community interest companies; their successor authorities; and their nominated agents. It is possible that, during the life of the Framework Agreement, some of the Fire and Rescue Services listed below will undergo a change of governance, for example by merging with other fire or police services or through the replacement of the governing Fire Authority with Police and Crime Commissioners. Any successor Authority will continue to have access to the Framework Agreement.
