## Summary

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED bought hybrid firefighting boots for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is for specialist protective footwear used in firefighting, rather than general footwear. The procurement was run by BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED, based in Hull. The published description identifies the purchase as hybrid firefighting boots but does not describe quantities, technical specifications or delivery sites beyond the regional location. Suppliers focused on firefighting and emergency-services footwear are the closest fit; manufacturers and distributors of protective boots may also be relevant if they can meet the buyer’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited was selected. The award was made on 21 September 2026, for £192,270. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2031. The buyer conducted a further competition under YPO Framework 001204. The process had a submission deadline of 11 October 2026. The procurement is recorded as a goods purchase, with an estimated tender value matching the awarded value. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, or any division into lots, so the award outcome cannot be attributed to a stated scoring basis or more specific qualification threshold.

The award demonstrates demand from a Hull-based buyer for hybrid firefighting boots for use in Yorkshire and the Humber, with a contract spanning several years. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply specialist firefighting footwear suited to emergency-service use and demonstrate the capacity to fulfil the buyer’s regional requirement over a sustained contract. The successful supplier was Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited, showing that a specialist apparel supplier can compete for this type of purchase. The route used was a further competition through the YPO Framework 001204, so future competitors would need to be positioned to participate through that framework route. The stated procurement treated the requirement as goods rather than a service or works contract.
