Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) propose to procure 220 new Gas Tight Suits (GTS)from Respirex International Ltd over a period of two years to complement the 1,100 Respirex GTS that are currently operating on frontline appliances. The existing 1,100 GTS were introduced as part of the New Dimensions Programme as part of a UK-wide approach. Procuring GTS will align SFRS current requirements with the wider requirements of UK Fire and Rescue Services thereby ensuring compatibility of equipment with the wider UK Fire and Rescue Services in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding with Centre for National Resilience (CNR) approved by the SFRS Strategic Leadership Team in November 2015. This will ensure that there is no compromise in mutual-aid agreements with the wider UK Fire and Rescue Services thereby ensuring that the cross-border response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) incidents is not compromised. Procuring these GTS will allow SFRS to continue to observe National Operational Guidelines (NOG) for UK National Resilience arrangements.

Options: Option to extend for a one-year period.
