Tender: Emergency Response and Rescue Equipment DPS for Fire & Rescue and Public Sector – YPO

About

YPO is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide emergency response and rescue equipment and garments for Emergency Services and the wider public sector. This DPS is a renewal of the existing 000865 ERRE framework and is intended to provide a compliant route to market for a range of emergency response equipment and garments with a strong focus on Fire and Rescue Services while remaining open to all public sector customers. Proposed lot structure includes Water Rescue Equipment (Protective Clothing and Footwear; Life Jackets and Flotation Devices; Crafts and Rafts; Diving Equipment), Hoses, Pumps and Associated Products/Services (Nozzles and Branches; Portable Pumps), Working at Heights Equipment, Vehicle Stabilising and Cutting Equipment - RTC, Lighting and Associated Products, Rescue Tools (including Lances and Battery Powered Tools), Portable and Pop-up Shelter and Associated Products/Services, Thermal Imaging Cameras and Associated Products, Smoke Control (PPV Fans, Smoke Curtains and Associated Products), and Land & Sand Rescue. The deadline for submissions for the initial establishment/first round of the DPS is 19th April 2022 at 14:00pm; following initial establishment the DPS will remain open for any suppliers to submit a bid at any point until the closing date of the DPS. The initial DPS will cover the period from 14/06/2022 to 13/06/2026; the first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by the end of the 4th year (10/03/20226) and every year thereafter, dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, current market conditions and YPO's contracting structures, with a maximum contract period of 10 years from 14/06/2022 to 13/06/2032 (subject to annual review and KPI performance). ***This could be ideal for suppliers of emergency response and rescue equipment, particularly those that supply fire and rescue products across the listed lot categories and have experience working with public sector buyers. Key considerations include the initial submission deadline for the first establishment (19 April 2022), the need to meet contract KPIs and annual reviews for any extensions, and the ability to supply into specific lots across a wide range of equipment types.***
