Notice Description

Provision of Gas Tight Suits (GTS)

Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) propose to procure 220 new Gas Tight Suits (GTS)from Respirex 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 two one year periods.

Procurement Information

SFRS has a statutory duty under Part 2 of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (FSA 2005) to respond to fire and road traffic incidents and a power to respond to other events and situations. The Fire (Additional Function) (Scotland) Order 2005 (F(AF)SO 2005) sets out situations or events that SFRS has a statutory duty to respond to including CBRN, search and rescue, severe flooding and serious transport incidents. Section 13 of the FSA 2005 implores SFRS to take any action that it sees as appropriate in response to a situation that causes or is likely to cause death or serious injury to a person or harm to the environment including the power to secure the provision of equipment. Both the FSA 2005 and the F(AF)SO 2005 detail that SFRS has a responsibility to enter into a reinforcement scheme with other relevant authorities to secure mutual assistance for the purpose of carrying out the duties and functions previously detailed. The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 requires SFRS to work with other emergency services and responders in producing comprehensive plans for major and catastrophic incidents including emergency planning and response to widespread threats and incidents involving terrorism or environmental disasters.
