The London Fire Commissioner is looking to source replacement respiratory protective equipment (RPE) for its workforce. This is based around positive pressure, self-contained, open circuit, compressed air breathing apparatus. The aim of this RPE Replacement Project is to provide lighter and easier to use equipment to improve the safety of firefighters and to render an improved service to the public.
The LFC has a need to secure contractual arrangements with a contractor for emergency fire cover in the event of such exceptional circumstances including those described below to enable it to discharge its core operational functions without the need to request military support.
This Agreement will enable the LFC to put in place arrangements to allow the LFC to discharge its duties in the following (but not limited to) exceptional emergency circumstances: Natural Disaster; Terrorist event; Pandemic; Industrial action; or any other similar events.
The LFC requires the provision of an Operational Contingency Crew Service ("OCC Service") sufficient to maintain the availability of up to twenty-seven Appliances within 35 days of notification (or the same number of crew spread over thirty-two appliances if requested by LFC).
The contract is to engage a contractor to undertake the Project to supply and install new wall and floor finishes, as well as supply & Install new furniture at Lambeth River Station:
The LFB's main Fire safety training contract is currently held with Xact.
Xact currently provide Fire Safety qualifications Level 3, Level 4, and a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Safety.
Since the implementation of this contract, there has been a change in the built environment, as a result - the LFB need to increase the number of qualified staff.
Any further variations to the existing contract will lead to an increase in price that exceeds 50% of the value of the original contract which renders a new procurement procedure.
The STA will act as a contingency buffer to train existing staff awaiting training. This contract will run concurrently with our existing Xact contract. The future objective is to run a competitive tender process to source a suitable training provider by 2023 to support the Fire Safety department to meet their statutory requirements.
LFB intends to award a contract, subject to a 10-day standstill period, without prior publication of a contract notice.
In compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015, all awards of contracts that are subject to European Procurement Directives are subject to a mandatory "standstill" period of at least 10 days.
A Contract cannot be entered into with the preferred provider until at least the eleventh calendar day following notification. This would not prevent continuing discussions with the preferred provider to ensure prompt mobilisation. The standstill period is expected to end at midnight at the end of 01/02/2023.
If steps are taken during this period to suggest that there may be a formal legal challenge to this award, or LFB determines an issue/concern with the process or preferred submission, then the contract award may be suspended until the matter is resolved (or not concluded if the matter cannot be resolved).
Subject to no legal challenge being received, the LFB intends to execute the Contract at the conclusion of the standstill period.

The London Fire Commissioner is engaged in a Carbon Net Zero programme in support of the Lord Mayors Carbon Net Zero plans (CNZ) for 2030. The reduction in carbon emissions relies more heavily on electric consumption, this increasing demand requires sub-station upgrades across our estate as part of that holistic solution. As part of our approach, we seek to electrify our fleet of vehicles which adds considerably to a restructure of our electrical supply solution.
We seek Independent Connection Providers to deliver this stage of our upgrade Works to the sixteen (16) Fire Stations listed within the ITT documentation and listed below for completeness.
