Tender description

Cleaning, inspection and repair of firefighter’s personal protective equipment. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was established by the Police and Fire Reform Act (Scotland) 2012 and replaced the previous 8 legacy services. The process of transforming our current operating model continues with the aim to deploy our people and resources more effectively and efficiently. SFRS are in the process of reviewing the future requirements for the cleaning, inspection and repair of firefighters personal protective clothing. Provision of this service is a fundamental requirement of the operation of the SFRS and is a vital service requirement to ensure firefighter safety and continuity of operational capability. As such in the interim period until a new contract has been established following internal review, it is necessary to ensure that the legacy service arrangements relating to the service provision for cleaning, inspection and repair of firefighters personal protective clothing continues with Ballyclare. The total estimated value over the proposed period of November 2019 – February 2021 is 800 000 GBP.
