West Midlands Police awarded a contract to Blücher GmbH and Respirex International Limited for the supply and delivery of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protective clothing.

The contract, valued at £3,500,000, addresses the need to replace the CR1 and QuickDon (QDPPE) ensembles, which were discontinued due to material discontinuation by WL Gore and the ceasing of operations by manufacturer Remploy Frontline Limited.

This procurement supports the National CBRN Response Framework, ensuring UK emergency responders can operate safely in contaminated areas.
