What is being bought

Published requirement description

TWFRA (‘the Authority’) is the publicly accountable body that oversees the policy and service delivery of Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (‘the Service’) on behalf of the community. The Service successfully leads the operational delivery of fire and rescue services such as public protection, fire and other emergency prevention, operational response and resilience. Our stations, staff and appliances are strategically placed across Tyne and Wear to ensure efficient and effective response to fires and other emergencies. Appliances work across station areas and can be mobilised whilst away from their home station. We also have robust arrangements with neighbouring services to enable additional support during major emergencies.

Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) operates a Fire Cadet Program aimed at developing young people’s skills, confidence, and understanding of fire safety and community service. As part of this program, there is a requirement to suitably equip cadets with appropriate uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety and maintain professional standards during training and activities.
