This procurement relates to the potential supply of aerodrome rescue and fire-fighting foam producing vehicles(s) to the Contracting Authority under the terms of a framework agreement.

The Contracting Authority wishes to enter into the framework agreement with a single provider, which framework agreement sets out the terms upon which the Contracting Authority may (but does not commit or give any undertaking to do so) purchase or lease up to 3 aerodrome rescue and fire-fighting foam-producing vehicles (“Vehicles”) and purchase training, maintenance and support services and supply of spare parts. It is currently anticipated that the framework agreement will, subject to any earlier termination in accordance with its terms, continue for a period of four (4) years from commencement. The Contracting Authority may call off purchase/leasing of Vehicles and supply of services under the terms of the framework agreement by way of a call-off agreement that sets out the commercial terms of each purchase (“Call-Off Agreement”). Each Call-Off Agreement (if any) will be entered into in accordance with the process described in, and the terms of, the framework agreement. It is anticipated currently that any Call-Off Agreement entered into during the term of the framework agreement will continue for the whole life of the Vehicles and require whole life maintenance (estimated to be a period of 15 years from the date of successful commissioning of the Vehicle(s)).
