## Summary

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority is buying motorcycle personal protective equipment for North Yorkshire Police’s motorcycle officers. The requirement is for two-piece motorcycle suits providing a high level of protection while allowing officers to carry out road patrols, casualty reduction operations, collision investigations, VIP and Royal escorts, abnormal-load escorts, sporting-event support and mutual-aid deployments. The equipment must support both marked and unmarked motorcycles, with flexibility between high-visibility and more discreet appearances. It is a goods supply requirement for special clothing and accessories (CPV 18400000), delivered for North Yorkshire Police’s operational motorcycle function across North Yorkshire and in deployments supporting other forces and events.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids were to be submitted electronically through the buyer’s tendering portal by 28 September 2026 at 14:00. It is divided into one lot. The contract period is 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2030. The published overall estimated gross value is recorded as £0, while the lot’s gross value is recorded as AED 0. Offers are evaluated on price and quality, weighted 40% and 60% respectively. The requirement is being run under the Procurement Act 2023 legal basis. The tender concerns supply rather than works or services, with the successful supplier providing protective motorcycle clothing for police operational use.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist distributors and established suppliers of protective motorcycle clothing that can provide complete two-piece suits for professional riders. Strong candidates will need products designed for high-performance motorcycle use, combining protection with the flexibility required for prolonged operational duties. Relevant capability includes supplying equipment suitable for road patrols, escort work, collision operations, public events and mutual-aid deployments, where visibility, presentation and reliability matter. Suppliers should be able to support both marked and unmarked motorcycle operations and offer clothing adaptable to high-visibility and lower-profile use. The specification places emphasis on the highest available protection while retaining functionality, so businesses with demonstrable product performance, dependable supply arrangements and experience serving police, emergency services or comparable operational users are likely to be well placed.
