Emergency Tenders and Contracts

See open emergency tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Emergency procurement covers emergency planning and civil contingencies advice, emergency preparedness training and exercising, and incident coordination software. Search and rescue adds coastguard vehicles, rescue equipment and aerial surveillance, and urban search and rescue tools and training facilities for fire services.

Planning and training are bought as advisory or training contracts, sometimes framework call-offs, while vehicles are supply contracts and rescue equipment often comes from YPO's emergency response and rescue equipment dynamic purchasing system. Councils, fire and rescue services, ambulance trusts and government departments are buyers, as is the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about emergency planning, civil contingencies, emergency preparedness, emergency management, EPRR, emergency towing, mass casualty, major incident training, search and rescue in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find emergency planning contracts in the UK?

    Search the portals for what is open now, or move earlier and follow the buyers. Emergency planning sits with resilience teams in councils, NHS trusts and combined authorities, and those teams publish strategies, board papers and budget files long before a tender appears.

  • Why do so few emergency tenders show as open?

    Because most of this work is already let. Emergency planning support tends to be bought as a framework call-off or a short advisory contract, so it never sits on a portal for long. The awarded records are the more useful half: they name the incumbent and carry the expiry date, which is what tells you when to start the conversation.

  • What CPV codes cover emergency contracts?

    Emergency planning has no CPV code of its own, and many council notices for emergency planning and civil contingencies advice carry no CPV code at all, so the work is better recognised by its titles than by a code.

  • Who buys emergency planning and resilience services?

    Local authorities and combined authorities carry the statutory duty under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, so councils publish a steady stream of this work. NHS ambulance and acute trusts running EPRR programmes, fire and emergency management training providers, police bodies, and nuclear site operators and regulators all buy into this category too.
