## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, invites consideration of the recently completed contract for the title "Fire Retardant Bedding Packs & Associated Products". Categorised under the industry of "Miscellaneous fire-protection equipment" (CPV: 44480000), this contract is linked to the provision of goods with a specific focus on fire retardant bedding packs, aprons, and throws. This procurement followed a limited procurement method within the West Midlands Framework Agreement for the Supply and Delivery of Safe and Well Equipment, with a direct award process that bypassed prior publication for competition. The procurement process has moved to the Award stage with the contract successfully signed on 6th November 2025. Although the process included lots for provision, these particular lots were later cancelled.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in fire-protection goods. The awarded supplier, Thomas Kneale & Co Ltd from Manchester, indicates that large-scale suppliers with expertise in manufacturing and delivering fire-retardant textiles are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Given the direct award under the framework agreement, familiarity with the West Midlands Framework and the ability to ensure fast and reliable supply chains would be advantageous. The awarded contract value was £150,000, demonstrating an attractive business opportunity for companies operating in this sector, particularly those that can competitively manage the demands of regional or local authority procurement needs.
