## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured firefighting equipment and associated services for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Services. The requirement is primarily for goods, supported by services, and covers the supply and provision of firefighting equipment (CPV 35111000). Delivery is within Northamptonshire, including the Wellingborough area. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for the fire and rescue service requirement. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of firefighting equipment who can also provide the related services needed by an operational fire and rescue organisation. It is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier is a large specialist company operating in the UK safety-equipment market.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Draeger Safety UK Ltd. The contract was awarded on 4 September 2026 and signed on the same date. It runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing the arrangement to continue until 6 September 2030. The contract value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. Draeger Safety UK Ltd is the sole recorded award supplier. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. The published description states that the value is an upper limit and does not guarantee spending by the authority.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers serving fire and rescue organisations with firefighting equipment and related support services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of operational firefighting equipment, the technical knowledge to advise on its use, and the ability to provide associated services rather than equipment supply alone. The buyer’s selection of an established large safety-equipment supplier indicates the importance of supplier capability and operational reliability in this area. Businesses may be well placed if they already support emergency-service customers, can manage delivery across Northamptonshire, and can maintain equipment or provide responsive service support. The requirement also shows demand for a supplier able to work within a modest, capped arrangement for a public-sector fire and rescue customer.
