Description
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service (HFRS) are currently gathering information to inform a future tender for supply of timber for live fire training exercises for firefighters.
This prior information notice is to signal an intention to engage with the market using a Market Insights Questionnaire. The purpose of the Market Insights Questionnaire is to assess levels of interest, to gain a better understanding of the market and to invite views, ideas and feedback on HFRS's requirements. Responses to questions contained in the questionnaire will be used to inform any future tender.
HFRS invites responses from all potential suppliers of timber. The wood required is formaldehyde low or free Oriented Strand Board Type 3 (OSB3) cut to the sizes designed to fit the training equipment. Delivery will be to training sites in or around Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, ideally within 3-days of order placement or in some cases the same-day.
There is no requirement to complete all questions contained within the document however any information you could provide will help HFRS to make better, informed decisions.
Registration and completion of the questionnaire does not constitute an expression of interest in any future tender. Responses will not be used to evaluate your company, create a short-list or guarantee inclusion or exclusion in any resulting tender exercise.
