SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 13 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife has approved this Tuesday, in the Island Government Council, the award of the contract for the supply of clothing and personal protective equipment for the island’s volunteer firefighters associations, worth 258,424 euros.
The purpose of the contract will be the acquisition and supply of intervention equipment and technical rescue suits for use by the island’s volunteer firefighters. Specifically, 175 units of intervention equipment and 105 units of technical rescue suits will be supplied.
The contract is therefore divided into two lots. The first (intervention teams) has been awarded to the company Sagres for 205,971 euros; and the second (corresponding to technical rescue suits), to the Sebastián Tejera company, for 52,452 euros. In both cases, the execution period will be 6 months from the day following the formalization of the contract.
Last March, the plenary session of the Tenerife Island Fire Prevention, Extinction and Rescue Consortium approved the collaboration agreements between the Volunteer Firefighters Associations and the Consortium to award this year’s subsidy.
In total, the amount subsidized amounted to 450,000 euros, of which 350,000 are provided by the Tenerife Firefighters Consortium, and the remaining 100,000 by the Cabildo de Tenerife. Specifically, the economic aid for the Association of Volunteer Firefighters of Adeje is 96,750 euros, for Guía de Isora it is 57,857.14 euros, for Güímar 45,642.86 euros, for San Cristóbal de La Laguna 65,250 euros, for Los Realejos of 33,750 euros, for Santiago del Teide of 63,000 euros, for Tegueste of 36,000 euros, and Ycoden-Daute of 51,750 euros.
These subsidies are granted to compensate the expenses derived from the effective collaboration between the associations of Volunteer Firefighters and the Consortium. The aid will be made through a single form of payment and the associations have until January 31, 2024 to justify the expenses.
