• The title says supply and delivery of fire extinguishers; the description and line items say servicing of existing ones. Those are very different jobs — the document should settle it.
• Servicing prices depend on what the inspection finds: a refill, a hydrostatic test or a condemned cylinder are three different costs, and the notice sets no basis for pricing them.
• Colour is the only clue to type — blue for dry powder, red for water, black for CO2 — but the notice does not name the types.
• The 3 fire hoses are listed with the extinguishers with no reel or hose detail.
• Fire equipment servicing normally requires certification; nothing is said about what the Council will accept.
