Description

The Secretary of State for the Home Department (the Home Office) referred to in this procurement as the Authority, required a Provider to supply Body Armour and covers (both overt and covert) for Border Force and Immigration Enforcement staff. There may also be a requirement for the Provider to supply Body Armour to other departments across the Home Office throughout the life of the Contract. Border Force and Immigration Enforcement staff function throughout the United Kingdom and Europe with duties that range from searching vehicles, aircraft and vessels, through to entering premises using force. The Body Armour supplied shall provide protection for these staff in a confrontational environment, where the risk of injury is heightened. The Body Armour supplied will afford protection against injury from specified levels of ballistic, knife and spike threat whilst ensuring that, in the performance of all duties, the movement of the wearer is not unduly restricted. The protected areas include shoulders and torso, including coverage of the central abdominal organs and thorax; in particular the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and spleen. The anticipated annual volume for the Contract is 1500 units. This volume is an estimate only and the Authority cannot provide any guarantees on future volumes, and cannot provide any guarantees about the frequency or timing of orders. The Authority does not commit to placing any minimum number of orders, or any minimum order values, or any minimum order quantities.
