## About this tender

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) are undertaking a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) activity for the below requirement.

The Compartment Fire Behaviour Training (CFBT) Unit is a specialist risk critical, mandatory training requirement for operational crews. The unit provides firefighting crews with the ability to initiate and sustain a carbonaceous fire and facilitate the release or containment of fire gases in a safe, controlled environment. The unit can be used to demonstrate the correct door entry procedure, extinguishing, cooling and ventilation techniques allowing students to understand the hazards and risks presented by this environment.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) is preparing to initiate a procurement process to establish a contract for the acquisition of a single 40ft shipping container which will be repurposed and modified to create a Compartment Fire Behaviour Training Unit.
