Two appliances will be ordered immediately following the award of the contract – there will be further ordering during the period of the Framework but quantities cannot be predicted. This RFT applies to Medium Class Pumping Appliances (Class B Appliances) - as defined in I.S. EN 1846 - operating within urban and rural districts, both on and off road and at speed. The minimum required life span of the fire appliance is 15 years. The appliance will spend most of its life in a laden condition and the design must take this into account.
