### Procurement Information

This is a VEAT notice to advise the market that the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police is proposing to extend the existing Dedicated Courier Services Contract for a further 12 month period from 18th June 2023 to 17th June 2024. This additional 12 month period is outside the terms of the existing contract however it is deemed to be necessary as a critical review of the services and scope of the contract is being undertaken to ensure that the contract is fit for purpose when it is re-tendered. This review will not be completed in time to allow adequate time to retender within the existing contract duration and business need dictates that there cannot be a gap in service delivery. The value of the proposed 12 month extension will be PS440,246 and the contractor is G4S Secure Solutions (UK) Limited. It is intended that a new tender will be published in mid-2023 for a new contract to commence on 18th June 2024.
