The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has a requirement for a call-off provision for free standing mobile drying units. These systems will be deployed around the UK at the MCA’s HM Coastguard Rescue Centres to be used following rescue incidents at sea. Each system should be constructed of stainless steel and be on wheels / casters to ease movement, therefore each system must be highly portable, but have cross beams for stability. The wheels / castors should be lockable in position. It is envisaged that the system could have a warm air blower, with timer, mounted on the Framework. If a warm air blower, built into the system, is being tendered, it is necessary to provide an approximate running temperature, and voltage. It is expected that the system will be pre-wired with a heavy duty 13 amp 3 pin plug. The systems will need to be capable of drying at least: — 5 jackets, — 5 pairs of trousers, — 5 pairs of boots, — 6 pairs of gloves, — 6 hats / helmets.
