Tender Description
This Request for Proposals (RFP) invites proposals from suitable organisations for the provision of the services of large Fixed Wing airtanker(s) to assist with control of bushfires and management of other emergencies across Australia. Successful proposers will be experienced, highly motivated, highly capable providers who will enter into a contract to provide specialised aircraft services commencing in 2021, for the 2021/2022 fire season and onwards.
For this RFP, the term Large Airtankers (LAT) refers to fixed wing aircraft capable of delivering at least 6,813 litres of Fire Suppressant or Fire Retardant to a bushfire in a single load. This includes categories of aircraft that may variously be known as Type 1 Airtankers, Type 2 Airtankers, Multi-Engine Airtankers, Large Airtankers and Very Large Airtankers. Amphibious airtankers capable of self-filling through scooping or skimming may be proposed provided they are also capable and efficient as land-based airtankers ground filling with retardant slurry.
This RFP also invites proposals for the optional provision of associated supervision aircraft by the LAT provider.
