## Summary

The Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire Authority recently completed the procurement process for the provision of flame retardant bedding to support its Safe and Well visits across Nottinghamshire. This contract, identified by PRN004448, comes under the industry category of 'goods,' specifically 'Bed linen' as categorized under CPV 39512000. The procurement was managed using a 'limited' method, enabling a direct award without prior publication of a competition call, due to alignment with pre-priced items in an existing framework. This award was granted to Thomas Kneale & Co Ltd on 4th August 2025, with the contracting process finalised shortly after, on 5th August 2025. The primary service area, located in the UKF16 region, will benefit from timely delivery of these goods.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fire safety equipment and textile goods. With the direct award methodology applied only when a pre-identified supplier can meet the specified needs without further competition, businesses looking to enter similar markets may find it advantageous to become part of existing frameworks to enhance their market visibility and competitive edge. Companies experienced in public sector engagements and those able to align their offerings with governmental frameworks have a higher likelihood of successful participation in future tenders.

## Notice

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service carry out Safe and Well visits to esidents of the county who are vulnerable to the risk of fire in their homes. As part of these home visits, flame retardant bedding items can be given to residents. NFRS requires a compliant route to market for the purchase of these items.

### Lot Information

### Procurement Information

The NFRS Statement of Requirements contains three items which align with items 1.1, 1.2 and 1.13 on the framework (ref. C5682). As our requirement could be fulfilled by items already priced up by suppliers in the framework tender process, a further competition was deemed unnecessary. The full range of items in our requirement could only be supplied by one supplier so the decision was made to Direct Award to Thomas Kneale & Co.
