## Summary

The Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process concerning the NFCC PPE and Clothing Conference. This event is set to take place on 12th-13th May 2025 at the Crowne Plaza in Nottingham. This procurement process is part of a market engagement initiative to inform personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers. The industry category encompasses clothing, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment, and textile-cleaning services. The relevant procurement reference is KENTFIRE001-DN765701-71280102, with key dates including the event itself and a communication update scheduled by 14th May 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the PPE, clothing, and related services sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete for sponsorship packages and market engagement opportunities at this pivotal industry event. Companies focused on security, fire-fighting, and textile-cleaning services can leverage this platform for networking, potential collaborations, and exposure to key stakeholders in the fire and rescue services sector across the UK, including Guernsey, Isle of Man, and Jersey.
