## Summary

The West Midlands Fire Service has recently completed a procurement process for the supply of fire retardant bedding and related products, valued at £53,100. This tender was initiated in the tender phase and encompassed various items classified under the CPV code for “Beds and bedding and specialist soft furnishings.” The contract, which was divided into five distinct lots, required deliveries to multiple locations within the West Midlands region. Notably, the procurement period started on 2nd February 2017 and is set to conclude on 1st February 2020. The tender period for submitting quotations ended on 18th November 2016.

This opportunity is ideal for suppliers of fire retardant products, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can fulfil specific fire safety standards. Companies that specialise in manufacturing or distributing bedding, floor mats, mattress toppers, clothing, and throwovers are well-positioned to compete for the remaining lots, as several items were already awarded to Thomas Kneales and Vision Support Services. The contract's flexible ordering structure may further offer an attractive proposition for businesses looking to grow within the fire safety industry in the region.
