Sweden - 7 October 2025
Under the "Brandbil BAS 2025" programme, Sweden's Adda InkΓΆpscentral AB has awarded a historic framework contract worth SEK 1.2 billion for the supply of new firefighting vehicles. The agreement, which was published on October 7, 2025, in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ S 192/2025), intends to modernise and standardise the nation's firefighting and rescue fleets. Floby Rescue AB, Sala Brand AB, and SZCZΔΕNIAK Pojazdy Specjalne Sp. z o.o., based in Poland, are the successful bidders.
Contract Specifics and Scope
Delivery, upkeep, and support of BAS 1, BAS 3, and BAS 4 firefighting vehicle models - including electrically powered versions - are covered by the Brandbil BAS 2025 procurement. The framework agreement guarantees a long-term, secure supply chain for vital emergency response vehicles throughout Swedish municipalities and regions, and it runs from September 16, 2025, to September 15, 2029.
Every vehicle delivery will come with extensive training, documentation, service guarantees, and 15 years of spare parts support. The contract's maximum possible framework value is SEK 1.56 billion, with an estimated total value of SEK 1.2 billion (about EUR 104 million).
Organisations Taking Part
A regional authority with its headquarters in Stockholm, Adda InkΓΆpscentral AB, carried out the procurement in accordance with Sweden's Public Procurement Act (LOU 2016:1145). Following an open process, the winners - Floby Rescue AB (Floby), Sala Brand AB (Sala), and SZCZΔΕNIAK Pojazdy Specjalne Sp. z o.o.

Attention to the Environment and Strategy
This purchase is in line with Sweden's national sustainability objectives, which place a strong emphasis on fair labour practices, pollution prevention, and less environmental impact. The nation's commitment to socially responsible procurement is further strengthened by Adda's framework, which also requires adherence to ILO core labour standards.
