MARKET ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY: Operational Equipment Management Solution & Service Delivery

THIS ADVERT RELATES TO MARKET ENGAGEMENT

The Authority will be tendering for an asset management solution to record and manage its operational equipment (on fire appliances and other technical support units*). The solution must provide testing functionality, and track all aspects of a defined item from cradle to grave.
The supplier will need to provide the initial physical asset tagging and data collection services for the implementation phase (20k+ items). Therefore, we will only consider suppliers who are able to provide this full end-to-end service, whether it be in-house or via a 3rd party partner (preferably under sub-contract and with a single point of contact for account management acting as a main contractor).
*(56 stations and 75 front line fire engines and a range of specialist operational support vehicles. For more information go to: https://www.kent.fire-uk.org/our-buildings-fleet-and-equipment )
