This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 31 May 2018. The overall budget is set at £150 million, with a minimum bid value of £8 million. The contract period is expected to commence on 3 April 2019 and conclude on 2 April 2025, covering delivery to various locations, including the UK and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in personal protective equipment, particularly those with capabilities in the manufacture and supply of CBRN protective clothing. Companies well-versed in open procurement procedures and those that can meet the high safety and quality standards required for emergency response apparel will find this contract beneficial. Suppliers with a strong track record in security and safety equipment will be particularly well-suited to compete for this critical contract, which supports the UK's resilience against CBRN incidents. ## Notice The UK Police Service used to have two ensembles of personal protective equipment (PPE) for use in response to an incident involving a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN) agent, and these were the CR1 and QuickDon (QDPPE). Materials from which these two suits are manufactured have been discontinued by the supplier (WL Gore) and the manufacturer (Remploy Frontline Limited) is no longer trading. CR1 has successfully been withdrawn and stocks of the QDPPE have begun to deplete as their ten-year shelf-life recommended by the manufacturer approaches. Both The National CBRN Centre and Home Office, Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT) have identified the need to consider Police CBRN PPE requirements in the context of preparing for emergencies involving contaminants that may have been deliberately or accidentally released and emergencies that may involve elements of more than one terrorist attack planning scenario. This project is critical to the National CBRN Response Framework which aims to ensure the UK is prepared to mitigate the unique consequences of CBRN emergencies - specifically contamination. CBRN PPE is essential to the success of this programme because it allows emergency responders to operate relatively safely within a potentially contaminated area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2198aa8d-e522-4315-bfda-ff7cae4494d4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 31 May 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2019 - 2 Apr 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000,000 | | 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 | WEST MIDLANDS POLICE | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 6NQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Newtown | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35113200 - Nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological protection equipment - 35113400 - Protective and safety clothing - 35113420 - Nuclear and radiological protection clothing ## Release History - 2 May 2018 at 21:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2198aa8d-e522-4315-bfda-ff7cae4494d4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2198aa8d-e522-4315-bfda-ff7cae4494d4 2nd May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=24089&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/40400 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
