What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority are looking to procure a demountable water bowser which can be mounted onto an existing prime mover. This would diversify firefighting provision increasing operational flexibility and resilience, providing a supplementary water supply in areas where hydrant coverage is limited, compromised, or unavailable, such as rural locations, large industrial sites, wildland environments, and during major incidents. The provision should support prolonged firefighting operations, reducing reliance on fixed infrastructure, enhancing water provision without the need for additional appliances.
