FlamePro, a British manufacturing specialist of life-saving garments for firefighters, has been awarded a £4m contract by Capita to provide its firefighting PPE for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) across the next decade.
The competitive tender, part of Capita’s contract with the MoD, saw four different PPE providers bid for the work, with FlamePro being appointed to provide its full ensemble of PPE alongside a total garment care package.
FlamePro was awarded the contract due to its high-quality product and the company’s dedication to providing support and expertise on PPE care, use and maintenance.
The contract includes a multi-million pound initial roll-out, with a total value of £4m across 10 years.
Nathan Bricknell, General Manager at FlamePro, said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have been awarded this contract with Capita – it marks a key milestone for the company.
