This project will be a re-procurement of the Environment Agency’s current National Supply of Pollution Control Equipment framework. One of the Environment Agency’s key objectives is to reduce the number of pollution incidents and their impact on the environment. As part of this objective, the Environment Agency supplies Fire and Rescue Services (FRS), based throughout the UK, with standardised pollution control equipment, which will be used at incidents to minimise damage to the environment.
