Following a market engagement event in August 2019, GMFRS considered a number of possible types of options/solutions and decided that the use of beds would best meet our requirements for the Rest Facilities. Due to the varying availability of space on Fire Station premises, it was decided that 2 bed types would be required; 1) Fixed freestanding metal based bed, 2) Foldable bed. There will be an initial requirement for approximately 240 beds which will be a mixture of both option 1 and option 2, however exact numbers of each are not yet known.
