## Summary

The procurement process for the "Supply of Trousers & Softshell Jackets" was conducted by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority. This contract falls under the goods category, specifically fire-brigade uniforms, with the specified delivery location being Merseyside, UK. The procurement was handled through a direct award utilising the YPO Framework, due to extreme urgency, bypassing the typical call for competition. This limited procurement method was prompted by an unforeseeable event demanding immediate action. The award stage is now complete, and the contract valued at £135,000 was signed on 15 January 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for suppliers capable of fulfilling orders on an urgent basis, especially those specialising in uniform manufacturing. Small and medium-sized enterprises with established frameworks in place, like Contact Left, which was awarded this contract, are particularly well-suited to compete due to the direct award nature of the process. Businesses that position themselves within the emergency services equipment supply chain could find similar opportunities beneficial for expansion by aligning with regional authorities such as the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority.
