What the notice says

Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service are undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to seek information from suitably qualified Turnout Solution providers for Fire Stations. A turnout solution is a smart automation system that manages a fire station when a 999 call comes in. It instantly triggers station alarms, turns on lights, opens garage doors, and provides incident details to firefighters so they can leave the station as fast and safely as possible. Interested parties should register on our eProcurement Portal Atamis using this link: https://northamptonshire-opfcc.my.site.com/s/Welcome
