Businesses equipped to innovate and adapt their products to meet demanding training standards will be well-positioned to compete successfully for this contract. ## Notice The Authority, Kent and Medway Towns Fire Authority (KFRS), undertakes a variety of training programmes for casualty rescue to all firefighters. This training typically consists of realistic casualty handling, evacuation, extrication and technical rescues: - dummy; for firefighter fitness and practical role-related recruitment testing used in outside environments. - casualty location and evacuation in a smoke-logged scenario (reduced visibility training) for firefighting training in dirty outside environments - extricating and rescuing casualties from road traffic collision training scenarios in outside environments - extricating and rescuing casualties from live fire training scenarios in dirty & fire training houses - extricating, searching for and rescuing casualties from water rescue training scenarios, where manikin weighting and buoyancy are essential design components of this equipment. Typical scenarios include swift water, mud rescue, at sea, and non-tidal outside environments - extricating and rescuing causalities from technical rescue (also known as Urban Search and Rescue) training scenarios, e.g. where a casualty may be trapped under collapsed buildings or concrete in outside dirty environments. The Authority require manikins that will be used in the training environment on KFRS property and other suitably assessed and approved locations to provide realistic training to KFRS operational personnel and other partner agencies. Requirements are varied and versatile, dependent on the training scenario being undertaken. Therefore, the Authority has split its requirements down into lots for different manikin types and all related consumables. The Authority expects the successful supplier(s) to be able to provide a technology refresh of equipment as and when industry materials and technologies change. Manikins need to be fit for the environments in which they are to be used in and therefore they need to be constructed of suitable materials that are robust and will perform in the environments specified/mentioned above. The Authority require the initial supply of the following types of training manikins: Lot 1 - Fire house manikins - A manikin that simulates an unconscious casualty. This must be available in adult, child and toddler sizes. Lot 2 - Extrication and technical rescue manikins - Two types of manikins are required - one that simulates an unconscious casualty and one that simulates a conscious casualty. These must be available in adult, child and toddler sizes. Lot 3 - Water rescue manikins - Two types of manikin are required - one that simulates a sinking casualty and one that simulates a floating casualty. These must be available in adult, child and toddler sizes. Tenderers may bid for any number of Lots. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c948ab0-4fbb-4434-b6a2-36e95e0320c7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Sep 2021 - 23 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £23,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME15 6XB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Tovil | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35112100 - Emergency training dolls ## Release History - 19 Aug 2021 at 13:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c948ab0-4fbb-4434-b6a2-36e95e0320c7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c948ab0-4fbb-4434-b6a2-36e95e0320c7 19th August 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a8bba3aa-26f9-eb11-810d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.fire-uk.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
