Description
Establishment of a framework contract to provide officers across the UK with body armour meeting the following Home Office standards, each available through its own lot: - HO1 + KR1 Body Armour - HO3 + SG1 Body Armour, either a standalone plate or in-conjunction with - Plate Carrier - Potentially additional lots for HO2 and Up Armour The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) will be the lead contracting authority with the successful supplier on each lot. The framework terms established at this level will flow down to the individual call-offs put in place by the in-scope police forces. It is anticipated that each lot will provide the ability to purchase on behalf of 600 officers over the life of the contract, with the majority of purchases occurring in the first half of the framework term. The suppliers must also agree to stock hold an agreed amount, to be defined in the tender documentation, to enable ad-hoc purchasing and through-life support throughout the framework term. This framework agreement will last for up to 8 years from contract commencement, comprised of an initial term of 5 years with 3 optional 12-month extensions. The current procurement strategy proposed is via a competitive flexible procedure, using proof of body armour certification to a Home Office standard and the ability to stock hold in the UK as a condition for participation in the physical testing stage. Weightings for the procurement process will be split across the following areas: - Technical Evaluation - paper based - Commercial & Pricing Evaluation - Social Value Evaluation - Security Evaluation - Health & Safety Evaluation - Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Evaluation - Physical Testing Evaluation - sample testing The bidder with the highest cumulative score across all aspects of the procurement will be awarded a place on the framework contract.
