Joint procurement venture saves fire services thousands

摘要

The joint procurement has saved both services time and money - but leaders say it will also make training and maintenance more efficient in the future.A project team at South Yorkshire led on the process of procuring the equipment, whilst team members at West Yorkshire directed the research and development phase of the project.The specialist cutting gear is to be used primarily at road traffic collisions to safely remove casualties from vehicles. The new equipment will replace old cutting gear within each service and by January 2019, it is expected that all appliances at both services will be modified to include the new battery powered rescue equipment.
