Relief Tents covers emergency and humanitarian shelter: family tents sized for a household, multi-purpose and communal tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheeting for shelter repair, and the poles, pegs, groundsheets and repair kits supplied with them.
Relief shelter should be specified against how long it actually needs to last, and this is where procurement most often goes wrong. A tent for a few weeks of emergency response and a tent that will be a family's home for two years are different products, and buying the first for the second role is a false economy that agencies pay for repeatedly in replacement and in protection problems. Fabric weight, UV resistance and groundsheet quality are the determining factors, and erection by the occupants themselves has to be realistic.
Relief tents are procured through tenders and framework agreements by disaster management and civil defence authorities, refugee and migration agencies, social welfare and relief departments, health ministries for field clinics, military and paramilitary logistics branches for disaster response, non-governmental and faith-based relief organisations, and emergency shelter programmes financed by international agencies and development banks. We price on quantity against the written specification and attach fabric specifications and test reports where required, dimensional drawings, packed weight and volume, erection instructions, make and origin declarations and third-party pre-shipment inspection.
Send us your expected deployment duration, the climate and your quantity, and we will quote on volume.
