ID 4418049 - PSNI - Supply and Delivery of Motorcycle Suits

To effectively carry out policing within Northern Ireland, PSNI utilises many patrolling models and many forms of transport. This includes the use of motorcycles by uniformed officers. To enable such officers to perform those duties, they must have adequate items of personal protective equipment; this includes wearing a Suit (Jacket and Trousers). PSNI have historically purchased leather jackets and trousers. Active police motorcyclists have expressed an interest in an alternative product in order to provide additional comfort and provide waterproofing. PSNI now seek to purchase textile motorcycle suits which meet the standards BS EN 13595 Level 2 or EN 17092 Class AAA with the addition of conformance to The Cambridge Standard for Motorcyclist Clothing, issue 2, level 3. As both products must be interactive, the appointed Contractor is required to supply both items (Jackets and Trousers). The Northern Ireland 'Driver and Vehicle Agency' (DVA) will also call off this Contract for the supply and delivery of Motorcycle Suits (Jacket and Trousers). DVA products are the same as those to be purchased by PSNI except the badging will be different. Please refer to the ‘Technical Specification’ and ‘Contract Specification’ for further information on the contract requirements.
