The buying organization is located in Liverpool, England, and the industry categories involved are Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment, and Laboratory, optical and precision equipments. This tender opportunity presents a chance for experienced suppliers in detection, identification, and monitoring in Chemical, Biological and Radiological disciplines to compete. The procurement stage is currently open, following the open procedure method. The tender is suitable for SMEs, providing an opportunity for smaller businesses to participate. Businesses involved in security equipment, fire-fighting gear, and laboratory equipment would find this procurement process well-suited for bidding. The successful applicants will have the opportunity to supply equipment to multiple UK Fire and Rescue Services, Police Forces, and Ambulance Services, enhancing their market reach and potential for growth. ## Notice Merseyside FRS wishes to establish a framework agreement for the purchase of Detection, Identification and Monitoring equipment for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) capability. The equipment is intended for use when National Resilience teams respond to incidents that could involve the release of chemical, biological or radiological substances. There are some 18 such teams to be re-equipped with new devices as well as a possible requirement for dedicated devices for training. The framework agreement has been made available to the other 'Blue Light Service' i.e. all other UK FRSs, Police Forces and Ambulance Services. The suite of devices will utilise a variety of technologies to allow the greatest number of 'target materials' to be detected and identified. Having a variety of technologies will allow potential complementary identification of the target materials and so reduce gaps in capability. The competitive exercise has been divided into discrete 'lots', based on the likely individual technologies. Although it is envisaged that there will be a single supplier appointed for each lot, a device that delivers more than one technology type may be entered into any lot for which it can be used. Tenders from suitably experienced suppliers having relevant expertise in detection, identification and monitoring in Chemical, Biological and Radiological disciplines are welcome.
