Technology procurement built for resilient emergency services.
Give your Fire & Rescue Service one controlled environment to procure hardware, software, services and subscriptions from approved technology providers — supporting stations, frontline teams, control environments and corporate IT.
Emergency services need technology that is available, resilient and ready to deploy.
Fire & Rescue technology environments span frontline operations, stations, command and control, communications, corporate systems and service-wide infrastructure.
Distributed service estates
Technology may be purchased across headquarters, fire stations, control environments, training centres and frontline operational teams.
Operational requirements
Mobile and frontline teams require reliable, rugged and deployable technology alongside standard corporate IT.
Availability & resilience
Stock availability, lifecycle changes and replacement lead times can directly affect technology deployment programmes.
