The Provision of Operational Contingency Crews (OCC)

The LFC has a need to secure contractual arrangements with a contractor for emergency fire cover in the event of such exceptional circumstances including those described below to enable it to discharge its core operational functions without the need to request military support. This Agreement will enable the LFC to put in place arrangements to allow the LFC to discharge its duties in the following (but not limited to) exceptional emergency circumstances: Natural Disaster; Terrorist event; Pandemic; Industrial action; or any other similar events. The LFC requires the provision of an Operational Contingency Crew Service ("OCC Service") sufficient to maintain the availability of up to twenty-seven Appliances within 35 days of notification (or the same number of crew spread over thirty-two appliances if requested by LFC).
