## Summary

BlueLight Commercial Limited is developing a national framework for personal protective equipment (PPE) for wildland firefighting by Fire and Rescue Services. The procurement is for protective and safety clothing, intended to support fire crews working in wildland environments. The framework is national in scope, for use by Fire and Rescue Services. The buyer is BlueLight Commercial Limited, based in London. This is a planned purchase of goods, rather than a contract for firefighting services or works.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out an intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It plans pre-market engagement to inform development of the framework, with engagement scheduled to run to 30 October 2026. The anticipated framework period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £3.2 million excluding VAT (£3.84 million including VAT). The procurement is presented as one lot. The information provided does not yet set out a procedure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so suppliers should treat the framework design and competition arrangements as still to be developed.

This planning-stage engagement is most relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of specialist protective clothing, particularly businesses serving wildland firefighting or other emergency-response users. Suppliers with the capacity to support a national framework for Fire and Rescue Services, and to supply clothing suitable for use in wildland environments, are well placed to contribute to its development. The stated purpose of the engagement is to inform the framework’s development, so relevant market knowledge about product suitability and supply arrangements can help shape the eventual requirement. The anticipated framework covers several years and has national scope, making it more suited to suppliers able to support sustained, broad-based public-sector demand than to businesses seeking a small, local supply contract. No specific accreditations or technical standards are identified at this planning stage.
