This tender from Germany is for the supply of a firefighting vehicle, specifically a HLF 20 (Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug 20). The procurement is divided into two lots: Lot 1 for the chassis and Lot 2 for the bodywork. The Hansestadt Buxtehude is the contracting authority.

Lot 1 bidders will focus on delivering a robust and reliable vehicle chassis suitable for demanding emergency service use. Lot 2 bidders will be responsible for designing and constructing the specialized superstructure, including the body, equipment compartments, and integration of firefighting systems. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with relevant German DIN standards (e.g., DIN 14530) and European vehicle manufacturing regulations. Experience in supplying vehicles to public safety organizations, particularly fire departments, is highly desirable. The tender will assess proposals based on technical compliance, vehicle performance, safety features, reliability, and cost.
