## Summary

The procurement process involves the Bedfordshire Police, who have awarded a contract for the hire of a temporary custody unit titled "Bedfordshire Police HQ Temporary Custody Unit Hire". This contract, valued at approximately £603,193, falls under the industry category of prefabricated buildings and is located in Kempston, East of England. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period set to run from 6 September 2016 to 5 September 2019, following a tender process that concluded on 24 August 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in prefabricated structures and temporary facilities. Companies that can provide efficient and cost-effective modular solutions, especially those with experience in similar public sector projects, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. The ongoing requirement for temporary custody units indicates a long-term partnership potential for suppliers capable of delivering reliable and compliant services in the East of England.

## Notice

We are continuing with the existing hire of a temporary custody unit for a further three years. When this contract was originally awarded it was assumed that a decision to build a new custody unit was imminent and therefore the units would only be required for the period of time that it would take to tender and construct the new custody buildings. Since this time various delays in giving the final consent to build the new custody have prevented the project being started and it is therefore necessary to extend the period for which these temporary units are required. To remove the units, tender and replace them with an alternative contractor would not be cost effective and would require prolonged closure of the custody unit, resulting in significant internal costs and disruption.
