This RFP is looking to source a supplier(s) that has the capacity and capability to supply fit-for-purpose Level 2 Structural PPC and Associated Logistics Services. The key outcomes this procurement seeks to meet are Fire and Emergency:

- and the New Zealand public will have a Level 2 Structural PPC solution which is reliable, resilient, fit for purpose and provides public value,
- will have an improved laundering, repair (including alterations), maintenance, asset management and associated logistics services and processes which enhance the end-user experience,
- will have a solution that is inclusive of diverse gender (based on anthropometric design) and cultural needs and promotes a sense of belonging for all people,
- will have easy access to information which will allow the right person at the right time to identify emerging trends, opportunities for improvement and support the requirement for ongoing Level 2 Structural PPC innovation, and

Fire and Emergency’s strong preference is to have one contract delivering all products and services in scope of this RFP. If this is not the case our expectation is that the Successful Supplier(s) for each part of this RFP can provide a complete service offering (provision of all main deliverables in full) that meets or exceeds the requirements laid out in this RFP. Each supplier must demonstrate a clear commitment to work with other suppliers to provide a seamless service to Fire and Emergency that does not undermine the integrity of the Level 2 Structural PPC and the efficiency and effectiveness of the Associated Logistics Services. Fire and Emergency will consider joint venture and/or consortium Proposals where one party is the clear lead.
