## Summary

The procurement process, led by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, involved the supply of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and associated products, specifically targeting fire-brigade uniforms under the CPV code 35811100. This contract, classified within the goods category, took place in Bootle, United Kingdom, in the region UKD73. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically a direct award procedure using the YPO Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to Bristol Uniforms Limited on 9th July 2026, and the procurement status is complete, with the contract valued at £140,000.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the protective clothing and safety equipment sectors, especially those with capabilities to deliver specialised uniforms for search and rescue operations. Although this tender was awarded to a large-scale supplier, Bristol Uniforms Limited, the framework used indicates that future similar opportunities may arise, and companies with relevant expertise should remain vigilant for direct award opportunities or broader competitive processes. Businesses with strengths in providing high-quality, durable PPE for emergency services would be well-suited to compete in such procurements.
