Replacement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)

It is important that we keep our responders equipped with modern AEDs for the treatment of patients of all ages. Fire and Emergency require:
• supply of two bulk purchases of new reliable fit for purpose replacement AED units that meet our essential requirements and are suitable for first response and co-response incidents
• the ability to purchase training AEDs and one-off purchases on an as required basis in special circumstances
• ensure ongoing supply of corresponding Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) consumables and batteries
• establish and maintain a close and effective working relationship with the supplier(s)
• adequate service and technical support from the supplier(s) including:
o provision of any AED Operator Manuals and special/unique-to-type user familiarisation material (e.g. paper based manual, video, compact disk).
o fault finding, diagnosis and repair, and warranty support.
