New Approach

Since 2008, AssetCo Fire and Rescue has been working hard to secure new business that builds on our experience in the UK Fire and Rescue Service and our contracts with London Fire Brigade and Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service. We have added to our team global specialists and have also been focusing our energies on developing support services that add value in frontlines services, training and recruitment.
The contracts detailed below are indicative of the opportunities that AssetCo are currently working on.

EFCC Contract Award

In 2009, following the cancellation of the FireGuard Framework Agreement with G4S for Emergency Fire Crew Capability (EFCC), AssetCo were invited to bid alongside G4S and BPS to provide CapitalGuard. CapitalGuard was an alternative EFCC solution, but specifically for the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA).

Following a formal tender process, AssetCo were awarded a 7-year contract to provide up to 700 firefighters in the event of additional support being required for London Fire Brigade as a result of Pandemic, natural disaster or Industrial Action.

Since the award, a number of Fire and Rescue Services have expressed an interest in our EFCC solution with the use of retained firefighters being an acceptable part of the solution.

UAE & Abu Dhabi Governments Contract Award

In November 2009, AssetCo was awarded a 10-year joint venture contract with the Abu Dhabi Government for the development and operation of a new world class Education and Training Facility.
This long-term partnership with the Abu Dhabi Government’s Critical National Infrastructure Authority requires AssetCo to develop, resource and manage a 100-acre multi-agency emergency services training centre.

UAE Government Firefighting Service Contract Award

In January 2010, AssetCo announced a contract to provide a fully outsourced firefighting service by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
This 3-year contract is the first of its kind in the UAE that involves a total turnkey solution for the provision of personnel, training, operational equipment and facilities management.
