Procurement description
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service in conjunction with the National Fire Chiefs Council Respiratory Protective Equipment Group (NFCC RPE Group) and the NFCC Procurement Hub has led a procurement project to replace the existing Framework for Respiratory Protective Equipment, associated equipment and services.
The new framework will enable named Contracting Authorities to procure Respiratory Protective Equipment, associated equipment and services.
The Framework has been split into Lots:
Lot 1 Self-contained breathing apparatus, with ancillaries
Lot 2 Cylinders with ancillaries
Lot 3 Integrated Communications systems
Lot 4 Telemetry
Lot 5 Maintenance services
Lot 6 Provision of consumables, parts and spares
Lot 7 Other respiratory protective equipment and services Self-contained breathing apparatus, with ancillaries
The Framework is a closed framework for a period of 4 years. Due to the stability of the market, there is an option to extend the Framework by up to two years providing that there have been no substantial changes in the supply market and that the Framework
continues to meet the needs of the contracting authorities.
No maximum number of suppliers per lot was applied.
