Notice to the Market – Introduction to Current Duty Wear

Overview Fire & Rescue NSW is inviting companies to attend a Non-Mandatory Introduction of Current Duty Wear to the Market session, ahead of the impending RFT FRNSW000293 for the manufacture and supply of Duty Wear. Purpose Fire and Rescue NSW provides Personal Protective Clothing (PPC) and Duty Wear to its operational personnel as the main uniform for wearing when on duty, with PPC being primarily worn for structural firefighting, and Duty Wear being worn in other operational circumstances.
