Re-certification of Powered Respirator Protective Suits (PRPS)
Notice Description
Re-Certification of Powered Respirator Protection Suits
Lot Information
Lot 1
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) propose to re-certify 300 Powered Respirator Protective Suits (PRPS) purchased from Respirex International The existing 300 PRPS were introduced as part of the New Dimensions Programme as part of a UK-wide approach. Re-certifying the PRPS 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. Re-certifying these PRPS will allow SFRS to continue to observe National Operational Guidelines (NOG) for UK National Resilience arrangements.

The SFRS will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill at the point information on the contract award is communicated to tenderers. The SFRS is obliged to comply with the regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the SFRS, they suffer or risk suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the SFRS must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of: or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the regulations",
