## Summary

The Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service has recently completed a procurement process for the award of a contract titled "Award of Contract for Ballistic PPE". This acquisition was made under the framework agreement from the West Midland Ambulance Service NHS FT, specifically covering Lots 1 through 5, which include body armour, ballistic helmets, tactical coveralls, gloves, and goggles. The procurement process was classified as "goods" and conducted via a selective method, with the contract period spanning from 20 September 2021 to 31 March 2022. The tender was officially closed on 17 September 2021, with the project located in the South West of England.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses operating in the personal protective equipment (PPE) sector, particularly those that can meet the specific requirements of law enforcement and emergency services.
