Notice Title
Provision of Gas Monitors and Associated Equipment for CBRN
Notice Description
Provision of Gas Monitors and Associated Equipment. Single-gas Oxygen (O2) detectors are an integral part of CBRN protection capability. The detectors are used by responders as a defensive detection and monitoring device to enable safe systems of work. A total of 2000 O2 Gas Monitors are required operationally.
Procurement Information
The risks of delaying award by conducting a competitive tendering procedure are that the current capability and response could be severely impacted, in the event of any CBRN response where respiratory protection is required by our specialists. Risks: * Potential loss of all CBRN capability if current operational Oxygen gas monitors fail before or during use * The legality of deploying Armed Response Police Officers and other CBRN Responders into a scene without an Oxygen gas monitor, as this goes against the current safe system of work and its associated training * The possibility that officers may refuse to deploy without the proper or in service monitoring equipment
