About the buyer
West Midlands Fire Service is a blue light buyer covering fire and rescue for the West Midlands region. A dedicated Corporate Procurement section handles its buying, led by a Corporate Procurement Manager. Framework agreements with Crown Commercial Service and the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation cover many contracts. Larger contracts need Fire Authority approval before a tender opens. Joint arrangements with neighbouring fire and rescue services and local authorities extend its buying power.
Over the past 5 years, most of West Midlands Fire Service's contract awards have been in transport equipment, software and information systems, and office and computing equipment.
