Who won: Supply of Timber for Live Training

About this contract

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service (HIWFRS) require the supply of timber to be used for live fire training exercises for firefighters. The timber is burned to simulate the conditions experienced during various fire situations. The current arrangement is a single supplier contract under which HIWFRS purchase Oriented Strand Board Type 3 ("OSB3") cut to exact sizes designed to fit their training equipment. HIWFRS would be looking to replicate the current arrangement. The demand for training is variable and therefore no guarantee of the volume of boards required can be given.
