Care and Maintenance of Draeger Breathing apparatus Sets

Tender description

Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) requires a contract for the ongoing servicing, maintenance, repair and calibration of its Draeger breathing apparatus (BA) sets and associated ancillary equipment. These assets are critical life-saving items of personal protective equipment used by firefighters to protect against hazardous atmospheres during operational incidents. To ensure compliance with manufacturer requirements, relevant safety standards and operational readiness, all breathing apparatus sets and associated equipment must be inspected, maintained and repaired by competent personnel using approved parts and procedures. As Draeger is both the manufacturer and sole authorised provider of servicing and maintenance for the equipment currently used by CFRS, a direct award is required to ensure the continued availability, reliability and safety of this critical operational equipment.
