    Brief

    This contract is for the supply of 6 battery-powered Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) fans to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS). The procurement was conducted following a Constitutionally compliant waiver process, as the total contract value exceeded the transparency publication threshold under PA23 regulations. The selected fans have been previously trialled and tested by ESFRS and are currently in use by neighbouring fire services, ensuring proven reliability, compatibility with existing operations, and improved collaborative deployment capabilities across the region. Potential suppliers should note that this is an established product with demonstrated performance within the fire and rescue sector.
