Fire and resilience

---

Summary

The key role of the National Procurement Strategy is to create a single overarching framework for Fire and Rescue Service procurement, identifying the way in which procurement at national, regional and local levels will be managed and co-ordinated to ensure that best value and consistently high quality outcomes are achieved. It sets out ways to help local authorities deliver their strategic objectives and improve frontline services to the public through improved procurement practices.

In order to deliver FRS procurement at a national level, a national body, FiReBuy Ltd, has been created. This will act as the specialist procurement agency focusing on fire service-specific equipment, in particular, appliances and clothing. It will be doing the technical investigations and standard-setting, develop output-based specifications and setting up call-off contracts for Fire and Rescue Services around the country.
