## Summary

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority bought a range of station wear for its fire and rescue service. The requirement covers fire-brigade uniforms and related workwear products, intended for use by personnel at stations. Delivery is in Merseyside. The procurement was for goods, rather than a service or construction project, and was treated as one requirement rather than a set of separately described product packages. Its scope is summarised as various station-wear products, with the fire-brigade uniform classification indicating the main product area. The buyer is the authority responsible for fire and rescue services across Merseyside.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WM Sugden & Sons Ltd. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and is active. Its recorded contract value is £50,000. The authority used a direct award through YPO Framework Agreement 1204, Lot 12, for uniform workwear, without publishing a competition notice. Price was the stated award criterion. The purchase was arranged as one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data while the award and contract are active; the recorded outcome names the supplier and contract. The data gives no contract start or end date, so the contract period cannot be established from the published details.

This award shows a recurring operational requirement for station wear by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority, covering several uniform and workwear products rather than a single garment. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to source or manufacture suitable fire-service clothing across a varied product range, manage fulfilment for a public-sector fire and rescue buyer, and deliver reliably in Merseyside. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME; this does not establish that the buyer limits competition to businesses of that size. The authority used an existing YPO uniform-workwear framework and awarded on price, so framework access and commercially competitive pricing are relevant features of the route and selection basis.
