Fire and Emergency New Zealand Seeks Equipment and Supplier Support

For more than 150 years, fire service organisations have been at the heart of New Zealand. In July 2017 Fire and Emergency New Zealand was established under legislation to bring together over 40 firefighting organisations around the country and around 14,000 people. Our brave and committed team operate out of 660 brigades throughout NZ helping communities, 24/7 in any weather.

In the last financial year we responded to 5,200 structure fires, 4,400 vegetation fires, 13,600 medical emergencies and almost 10,000 motor vehicle accidents. Now, more than ever Fire and Emergency NZ remains steadfast in our commitment to serve our communities. During the COVID-19 pandemic we will continue to respond to emergencies.

Additional measures are in place to ensure we maintain our operational and response capability to minimise risk for our people and the community. This is an important opportunity to work with us to ensure we have the right equipment and suppliers to ensure we can continue to serve our communities.

We are currently receiving exceptional support from organisations around the country, however we would like to supplement this capacity and capability. Existing suppliers do not need to apply, and those current arrangements will continue. During the current pandemic, Fire and Emergency NZ would welcome unsolicited bids to help us to keep our frontline teams properly equipped.

This includes, but is not limited to: � Masks � N95/P2 masks (or equivalent) � Gloves � medical and food safety type � Disposable gowns/coveralls � Disinfectant wipes � Sanitiser 70% + alcohol Ideally, we would require these immediately within NZ, but happy to consider proposals for supply of these in the short term. We are only seeking genuine offers of assistance at reasonable prices.

We are not seeking to engage with any parties seeking to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic by offering goods or services at inflated prices.

All responses should include: � A copy of any specification sheet and/or certifications � Details of the pricing (per unit and bulk unit prices, plus freight) � Your terms of supply (including geographic coverage) and payment terms � Indicative stock levels and current availability This invitation covers a fixed period, and is currently planned to cease on 01 May 2020 however this may be extended.

Fire and Emergency NZ thank you for your commitment and support.
