Protecting firefighters is a top priority for every fire and rescue service (FRS), and selecting the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in ensuring their safety. Our comprehensive guide, Top Tips for Sourcing Firefighting PPE, is designed to help procurement officers navigate the complexities of PPE selection.
With shrinking budgets and new regulations like the UK’s Procurement Act 2023, FRSs must make smart, informed choices when buying PPE. This guide provides practical advice on sourcing PPE that complies with key standards, such as EU PPE Regulation 2016/425, and ensuring the gear is fit for purpose.
You’ll learn about the importance of risk assessments, how to base procurement decisions on up-to-date information, and how to collaborate with suppliers and other FRSs for cost efficiency. The report also covers key procurement routes—whether through tenders, frameworks, or direct purchases—and emphasises the value of seeking expert advice from knowledgeable suppliers like FlamePro.
