Notice Description

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service have a requirement for two driver training vehicles. These vehicles will be used for both emergency response and LGV driver training including LGV Category C driving tests. As well as driver training there is also a requirement for the vehicles to be capable of carrying bulky operational equipment for major incidents if required.

It should be capable of seating 4 personnel (including the driver), preferably in a crew cab. The vehicles must also meet the minimum requirements for LGV Category C driving tests which are: * Minimum vehicle length of 8m * Minimum vehicle width of 2.4m * Minimum MAM of 12 tonnes * Fitted with a tachograph * Have a closed box cargo compartment at least as wide and as high as the vehicle cab * Minimum real weight (operational weight) of 10 tonnes * Minimum load of 5 x 1000 litre semi-transparent plastic IBCs filled with water Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No https://in-tendhost.co.uk/rbfrs/aspx/
