## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, seeks bids for the provision of two driver training vehicles under the title "Driver Training Appliances OJEU." This initiative falls within the emergency vehicles industry category and is designed to support both emergency response and LGV driver training operations in Buckinghamshire, UK. The open procurement procedure has a tender period that ended on 10 July 2016, with the contract scheduled to commence on 8 August 2016 and continue for one year. The vehicles needed must adhere to specific specifications, including dimensions and payload capacity, to meet regulatory requirements for LGV Category C driving tests.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of emergency vehicles and specialist automotive solutions. Companies that can meet the outlined technical requirements, particularly those experienced in producing vehicles suitable for dual purposes—both training and operational use—would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts may find this opportunity particularly advantageous in driving growth and establishing lasting relationships with public safety organisations.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service have a requirement for two driver training vehicles. These vehicles will be used for both emergency response and LGV driver training including LGV Category C driving tests. As well as driver training there is also a requirement for the vehicles to be capable of carrying bulky operational equipment for major incidents if required. To meet the dual role requirements these vehicles will need to have a curtain sided body to enable the ballast to be loaded and unloaded for driver training purposes (in the form of water filled IBC's) which can be easily removed to carrying operational equipment. As the vehicles will be used for emergency response driver training, they should perform (acceleration, speed) and have the same driving characteristics (handling, size, operational weight) as the majority of the front-line fire appliances currently in the fleet (Scania P270). It should be capable of seating 4 personnel (including the driver), preferably in a crew cab. The vehicles must also meet the minimum requirements for LGV Category C driving tests which are: * Minimum vehicle length of 8m * Minimum vehicle width of 2.4m * Minimum MAM of 12 tonnes * Fitted with a tachograph * Have a closed box cargo compartment at least as wide and as high as the vehicle cab * Minimum real weight (operational weight) of 10 tonnes * Minimum load of 5 x 1000 litre semi-transparent plastic IBCs filled with water Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No https://in-tendhost.co.uk/rbfrs/aspx/
