## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire has initiated a procurement process for the Provision of Wildfire Backpacks, Branch Spares, and Cutting Equipment. This procurement falls under the category of firefighting and safety equipment and is intended for the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Terberg DTS UK Limited and has a contractual period starting from 8th August 2025, with options for extension until 2029. The awarded contract has been active since 7th August 2025, with a gross value of £76,800 and a net value of £64,000, inclusive of VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the firefighting equipment supply sector, particularly for businesses adept at providing niche safety and rescue solutions. While the direct award to a large supplier, Terberg DTS UK Limited, suggests the high standards required, small to medium enterprises specialising in innovative or cost-effective equipment could position themselves for future opportunities, especially given the renewal options available within the contract term. Businesses that are environmentally conscious and can offer advanced or customisable safety solutions may find this sector particularly rewarding. The procurement's location in the East Midlands and potential scope for regional supply chains further enhance its attractiveness for local suppliers looking to expand their market reach.
