The London fire commissioner (LFC) is looking to award a service contract to a qualified contractor for the maintenance of its high pressure breathable oxygen and air compressors, high pressure pipework and associated distribution systems.

The LFC operates high pressure breathing air compressor systems at three sites collectively run by The Operations Support Group (OSG).

The Operations Support Centre (OSC) is the main site based in Croydon, with satellite charging rooms located at Park Royal fire station and Barking Fire station. Both OSC and Barking charging room have oxygen charging capability. The high-pressure air system not only supplies cylinder recharging but also supports our Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE), Gas Tight Suit (GTS), Cylinder testing and other areas throughout our sites and are regulated at various pressures.
