## Summary

The Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority has completed a procurement process for a "PDF Checker Tool with Remediation to make PDFs Accessible" under a direct procurement method, specifically "Below threshold - without competition". This procurement aligns with the legal basis set by the UKPGA 2023/54. The service contract, awarded to Recite Me Limited, focuses on the IT services industry, particularly consulting, software development, and support. Awarded on 17 December 2025, the contract is set to begin on 1 January 2026 and will conclude on 31 December 2028, with a total contract value of £19,615 excluding VAT, extending across multiple regions within the United Kingdom.
