The proposed contract will establish a Contract for the Supply, Testing and Maintenance of Garage Equipment across the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s (SFRS) four Asset Resource Centres located in Glasgow (Cambuslang), Dundee, Inverness, and Newbridge. The purchase is essential to ensuring the safety, reliability and operational readiness of SFRS’s fleet of approximately 1,600 emergency and support vehicles, which include fire appliances, rapid response units, platforms, and specialist rescue vehicles. Maintaining these vehicles to legislative and manufacturer standards is mission critical for emergency response capability. The requirement is highly critical, as improper maintenance or calibration of workshop equipment directly affects SFRS’s ability to service front line vehicles and therefore impacts emergency service delivery. The Scottish Ambulance Service and Police Scotland will have the ability to utilise this contract, subject to their internal governance and approval processes.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service seeks to establish a multi-year contract for the Supply, Testing and Maintenance of Garage Equipment used across its four Asset Resource Centres.
