This procurement falls under the police equipment industry category, with a total contract value of £1,500,000 and a minimum value of £150,000. The tender period concludes on 17 May 2017, after which the contract is scheduled to commence from 18 May 2017, lasting until 19 May 2017. The delivery addresses include various locations within the UK, British Overseas Territories, and Europe, indicating a broad geographical scope for the provisions of this contract. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in personal protective equipment and defence solutions, particularly those with capabilities in producing modular ballistic products. Companies that can meet the specific technical requirements outlined in the included documentation will be well-positioned to compete. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is accessible under an open procedure, allowing a diverse range of suppliers to respond to the needs of police forces across the nation. ## Notice Forces require Ballistic Shields to be carried on Armed Response Vehicles in order to meet the risks identified within both National and Local threat level assessments via respective Strategic Threat & Risk Assessment's (STRA's). The role of Policing is to detect and prevent harm to the public and in order to do this, Police Forces deploy both general and specialist armed officers to combat threats. In conducting these roles, officers may be required to face armed assailants and thus require protection from ballistic threats such as crossbows, small arms, rifles, automatic rifles and shotguns. In addition to their personal ballistic armour (a separate requirement) officers may make use of portable ballistic shields. Accordingly, Forces require scalable protection, up to and including various combinations of BPL "Ballistic Protection Level" in the form of half and full shields in a modular option. This opportunity is a National Framework open to all Police Forces in the U.K including British Transport Police and Civil Nuclear Constabulary. This will be a single supplier framework. This opportunity is being run under accelerated open procedure due to current STRA. Please download the attached documents and review fully. The ITT provides all the information about the framework and the company questionnaire's to complete. The 'Conemp' Excel document contains all the technical data, user requirements and price. Bidders should follow the guidance within the ITT and the Guide tab of the Conemp. It should be noted that although the documents look complex, the sections for bidders to complete are clearly marked and straight forward. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/852398c7-9783-4926-a1c4-81239d06325d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 May 2017 | | Submission deadline | 17 May 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 May 2017 - 19 May 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH WEST POLICE PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT (SWPPD) | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX2 7HQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | St Loyes | | Westminster constituency | Exmouth and Exeter East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35200000 - Police equipment ## Release History - 5 May 2017 at 14:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/852398c7-9783-4926-a1c4-81239d06325d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/852398c7-9783-4926-a1c4-81239d06325d 5th May 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=20017&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/30310 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/your-right-to-information ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
