## Summary

East Sussex Fire Authority procured 22mm Gloforce fire hose for mounting on its fire appliance hose reels. The requirement supports a change from the authority’s existing 19mm hose following a trial, while retaining a like-for-like replacement approach for operational reasons. This is a goods supply requirement for firefighting equipment, covering hose used with the authority’s appliance-mounted reel systems. The buyer is East Sussex Fire Authority, based in Lewes. The selected product is intended for the authority’s fire service operations and associated appliance equipment. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements should have a product offering that matches the required hose specification and is suitable for deployment on vehicle-mounted fire hose reels.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fire Fighting Technologies Limited on 20 August 2026. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition, following the authority’s trial and decision to replace its existing hose on a like-for-like basis. The award covers one lot and has a gross value of £66,000, including applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2027, with signature scheduled by 31 August 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. The procurement was evaluated through the authority’s decision to use the specified 22mm Gloforce hose and direct award route rather than a competitive procedure.

This procurement indicates recurring operational demand for vehicle-mounted fire hose from a public fire authority. A credible future supplier would need to provide 22mm hose compatible with appliance-mounted reel systems, support a like-for-like replacement requirement, and demonstrate that its product is suitable for frontline firefighting equipment. The authority’s decision followed a trial, so evidence from product testing, technical performance and practical deployment would be commercially relevant when this requirement next returns to market. Suppliers should also have the manufacturing, distribution and fulfilment capacity to supply a sizeable single-authority requirement within a defined service period. Experience supplying fire and rescue organisations or comparable emergency-service equipment would strengthen a competitor’s position.

## Notice

Following a trial we are moving all of our appliance mounted hose reel to be deployed with 22mm hose instead of the current 19mm hose. After internal discussions, for a number of reasons we have decided to replace our hose on a like for like basis and so permission is being sought to direct award a contract for 22mm Gloforce hose to Fire Fighting Technologies Ltd.
