### Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) propose to re-certify 300 Powered Respirator Protective Suits (PRPS) purchased from Respirex International The existing 300 PRPS were introduced as part of the New Dimensions Programme as part of a UK-wide approach.

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. Re-certifying these PRPS will allow SFRS to continue to observe National Operational Guidelines (NOG) for UK National Resilience arrangements.
