What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

The Authority delivers a range of operational training activities including:

Smoke generation is a critical component of realistic training environments, enabling the simulation of zero-visibility conditions.

The Authority currently utilises portable smoke generation systems across multiple training sites. The systems require ongoing servicing, maintenance and consumable supply.
