Non-confidential facts and advice to the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC)
1. Introduction and background
1.1. The MPS requires a contract extension to the Fleet contracts. The current suppliers are Babcock and S.MacNellie & Son and the contract extension will be from April 2017 until October 31st 2017. Without these contract extensions the MPS will not be able to provide maintenance of operational police vehicles or the conversion of new vehicles coming into operational service. The MPS cannot support the fleet without these contracts in place.
1.2. The contract extensions will be managed through a Contract Change Notice (CNN). The CNN will define the length of the extension and will enable the transition to the new contract before the end of the contract extension period.
2. Issues for consideration
2.1. These are discussed in the Part 2.
