• GMP is experiencing considerable growth
in the Fleet driven by demand and officer number increase across
districts and Spec Ops. This has increased and continues to put
pressure on Fleet availability across the force.
• Nationally there remain issues with supply and demand of
vehicles and as ever with police vehicles, even when purchased,
there is a lead time on delivery and any conversion
requirements.
• This strategy will give GMP the flexibility to buy from BLC
when a suitable vehicle is available and also continue to utilise
the CCS framework when appropriate.
Approval is given to the use of the CCS
framework (RM6060 & RM6224) to procure the necessary vehicles
on the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 vehicle replacement Programmes when
BLC vehicles and pricing are not available or suitable to meet
operational needs and timescales.
Undertake a bespoke procurement exercise
(OJEU) –rejected as there is a suitable framework
available.
