## Summary

The Royal Berkshire Fire Authority has recently awarded a contract for the purchase of electrical power tools and associated accessories, aimed at enhancing their operational capabilities. This procurement process, titled "Purchase of Electrical Power Tools," falls under the goods category and utilises a limited procurement method. Developed collaboratively with partner organisations such as the Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire Authority and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, the specification is standardised across the Thames Valley region, although each entity runs an independent procurement process. The contract, which has been awarded to Toolden Limited, commenced on 1st February 2026 and is set to run until 31st January 2028, with the option for a two-year extension. The total contract value is £60,000 with the potential to extend the reach of delivery across the UKJ11 region.

This procurement offers tangible growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in electrical machinery, apparatus, and related consumables. Companies that can supply high-quality power tools and associated accessories, particularly those that meet standardised operational specifications, would be well-suited to compete for such tenders. The award to Toolden Limited, an SME, highlights the inclusivity of the procurement process in granting access to smaller businesses. Participation in such contracts allows businesses to establish or enhance their reputation within the public sector, potentially leading to further opportunities with other public authorities and contributing to sustained business growth.

## Notice

Royal Berkshire Fire Authority (the "Authority") intends to award a call-off contract for the provision of power tools and associated accessories required to support operational activities. The development of the specification for this requirement has been undertaken collaboratively across the Thames Valley, involving the Authority and its partner organisations: Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire Authority (BMKA) and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service (OFRS). While a standardised and jointly agreed specification has been established to promote consistency in operational delivery and equipment compatibility across the three Services, each Fire Authority is conducting its own procurement process independently. This approach allows all parties to benefit from aligned technical requirements while retaining the autonomy necessary to meet their respective governance, financial, and contractual obligations.
