What is being bought

Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) currently use Crash Recovery System, with the licencing period expiring on 9th April 2026. As this is a vital software application, the previous business case outlines the need to renew cover for the period beginning 10th April 2026, for a two year period, to 9th April 2028, with possible extension for 2 x 1 years?? The Crash Recovery System gives the first responder access to an extensive database containing all vehicles, buses and trucks equipped with at least one airbag (EU). This safety critical information assists with the extraction of persons from vehicles quickly and safely and provides vital information in the event of a vehicle fire. The latest technology has been added (hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, the latest airbag technology and steel reinforcement types). NIFRS has used the Crash Recovery System (CRS) since February 2010 when 3tc MODAS Professional (Mobile Data System) was procured. Crash Recovery Licencing enables the display of vehicle information on each fire appliance via Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs).

    "description": "NIFRS has a legal & moral obligation to protect life, property and the environment across Northern Ireland.  RTCs remain one of the most frequent, high-risk and life critical incidents types attended by the Fire Service.  The renewal of Crash recovery licences will enable crews arriving at an accident to assess the situation in a timely manner and make critical decisions of how to extricate persons involved in an RTC. The software will enable crews to directly search and identify the make and model of the vehicle and will provide personnel with up to date and reliable safety critical information relating to hazardous components which may be encountered at incidents involving all vehicles (i.e. cars, vans, lorries and Electric Vehicles) whether the incident is fire related or a special service call (e.g. road traffic collision).",
