• and Station End Equipment for the purpose of alerting crews/personnel from the CAD to respond to incidents.
The objective of the collaboration will be to provide high quality, resilient response to incidents, protecting lives and property throughout Lincolnshire and Humberside.
The procurement is expected to begin October 2023, and this notice is initially to seek expressions of interest from economic operators.
The Council invites suppliers to express their interest in this opportunity via the Pro-Contract DueNorth portal no later than 1st September 2023.
