Gloucestershire County Council awarded a contract to Bristol Uniforms Limited for the supply and maintenance of personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters.

The PPE includes fireproof over-clothing coats and trousers, gloves, waterproof boots, helmets, and fire hoods.

The contract, valued at £600,000, follows a review of PPE provision as part of MCT2 savings.

The previous contract with Bristol Uniforms under the ICP contract had a natural break point at seven and a half years, which the service exercised without penalty.

A condition survey indicated that the majority of the PPE would remain fit for purpose for the next 2 to 3 years.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service entered into a short-term service level agreement with Bristol Uniforms for cleaning, maintenance, and repair of all PPE on a reduced cost, pay-as-you-go basis.
