This contract, valued at £650 million, will run from 19th January 2026 to 19th January 2030 and covers the Hampshire and Isle of Wight regions. The procurement process has progressed from tender to award stage, with Safelincs Limited and Eastern Extinguishers Limited recognised as suppliers under the agreement.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Safelincs Limited and Eastern Extinguishers Limited have proven competitive, showcasing their capabilities in delivering innovative solutions like the P50 extinguishers, which require minimal maintenance over their lifespan. Enterprises that can provide cost-effective, environmentally friendly fire safety solutions while navigating an expanding product range and market dynamics are likely to excel in similar future tenders, helping drive both local and national business growth in the fire safety industry.

## Notice

Hampshire County Council (HCC) is looking to establish a framework agreement for the supply, installation, training, and disposal of P50 fire extinguishers, including the disposal of traditional steel extinguishers. This framework will primarily support the estates of Hampshire County Council and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Services, but will also be available for use by other contracting authorities. These may include local authorities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, as well as schools, academies, colleges, and third sector organisations operating within the region. Traditional steel fire extinguishers have long been the standard means of first response fire protection. However, these extinguishers require regular servicing by certified engineers, involve on-going maintenance costs, and contribute to environmental waste at the end of their service life due to their steel construction and pressurised contents. The P50 extinguisher range offers a more cost-effective alternative, manufactured from composite materials that are corrosion-resistant, require no discharge testing or refilling for up to 10 years, and can be visually inspected by trained staff on-site. This significantly reduces maintenance costs, environmental impact and operational disruptions. Through this framework, the Authority aims to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and long-term cost-effectiveness across its estate and those of other partner organisations.
