Bristol's joint Managing Director Roger Startin added, “This is a significant milestone in our roll out of the ICP over the next few years. This contract takes full advantage of all the features of the procurement framework providing DFRMO with head-to-toe PPE under a lease agreement with a fully integrated managed service over 15 years."
"It also makes a valuable contribution to our strategy to broaden our involvement in supplying PPE to the emergency services in the UK as well as adding to our growing presence in Europe. With the sizing process about to begin, we look forward to working closely with DFRMO over the next six months on the logistics of the project during which time we will be manufacturing the thousands of individual items in preparation for delivery during January next year.
Firebuy's Chief Executive Terry Brewer commented, “The MOD's decision to procure DFRMO's firefighter PPE requirements through Firebuy's ICP Contract, after a thorough evaluation of the alternatives available to them from manufacturers both in the UK and abroad, is testament to the rigorous technical evaluation and testing to which the PPE was subjected. We are delighted that interest in the benefits of the ICP is continuing to grow not only amongst the country's fire & rescue services but elsewhere in the public sector where firefighters are deployed” For more information about Bristol Uniforms or Bristol Managed Services please contact either:
