Notice Description

NWFC mobilise on behalf of the four FRS. It should be noted that the NWFC contract is not within the scope of this document and therefore this contract relates to the mobilising message once it "clears" the firewall at NWFC, any mobilising faults on the NWFC side will be diagnosed and resolved by the NWFC contractor. In addition to this if the site is a shared site with other emergency services or stakeholders then these partners and their associated equipment are not in scope. Only Fire Service equipment is to be supported and maintained by this contract. It is envisaged that the successful tenderer will manage the mobilising message across the FRS networks to receipt and successful mobilisation at station end. The successful bidder will be expected to manage any third party faults such as network failures in resolving any incidents. Each FRS has provided a list of equipment that they wish to be maintained with an option for preventative maintenance It is envisaged (but not confirmed) that the following FRS's will be utilising this contract; * Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service * Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service * Cumbria County Council * Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service.
