2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below. The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive. Explanation: The CSRE solution was developed as part of combined research that identified a requirement for a hands free rescue hood (not an escape hood) that provided 15 minutes of air so as to rescue an inmate from a smoke - filled cell. Training of the use of the hood is of key importance therefore continuity of just using one type of hood is vital. There are 4500 prison officers who are trained to use this hood. It would not be possible to retrain at the moment and it would not be value for money to use a different system due to retraining time and costs.
