## Summary

Avon Fire Authority, through Avon Fire & Rescue Service, bought a specialist operational storage solution for Bath fire station. The requirement covers personal protective equipment (PPE) lockers and associated storage and racking for water rescue kit, breathing apparatus, the drying room, appliance bays and breathing apparatus cylinders. It also includes an ongoing five-year PPE locker supplier arrangement. This is a goods procurement for lockers and related operational storage, intended to organise equipment and support station operations. The awarded locker item is listed for delivery in the United Kingdom; the requirement description identifies Bath station as the project location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Avon Fire Authority used a below-threshold limited competition for one lot. MODUFLEX LTD. was selected for the award. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its stated value is £170,000 excluding VAT (£204,000 including VAT). The award is for lockers, within the wider storage and racking requirement for Bath station. The published award data does not state evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described.

This award shows demand from Avon Fire & Rescue Service for integrated station storage, combining PPE lockers with specialist racking for water rescue equipment, breathing apparatus, cylinders, drying-room kit and appliance bays. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply a coordinated operational storage solution across these equipment types, rather than lockers alone, and demonstrate the capacity to support an ongoing PPE locker arrangement over a multi-year contract. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that a supplier of that scale was appointed for this requirement. The work is focused on fire-service operational storage at Bath station; suppliers whose offer centres on unrelated storage applications would be less closely aligned.
