  "description": "Any contract values stated within this notice are estimates only, and should not be construed as any commitment by WYCA to spend such sums.\nThe Framework Agreement is open for use by Police Forces and Special Police Forces in the United Kingdom, and/or Police and Crime Commissioners (as defined by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011) and/or the Police Authorities (as defined in the Police Act 1964, Police Act 1996, Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, Police and Justice Act 2006, Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006), and other relevant legislation for the constituent parts of the United Kingdom, for their respective rights and interests (or such other successor body, company, organisation who shall acquire the responsibility of any of the bodies listed here). For a full list go to: https://www.police.uk/forces\nScottish Police information at:\nhttp://www.scotland.police.uk/\nPolice Service of Northern Ireland information at:\nhttp://www.psni.police.uk/\nPolice Forces of British Overseas Territories, British Sovereign Base Areas and British Crown Dependencies including but not limited to:\nGibraltar information at:\nhttps://www.police.gi\nCyprus information at:\nhttps://www.sbaadministration.org/\nChannel Islands information at:\nhttps://jersey.police.uk\nhttps://guernsey.police.uk\nIsle of Man information at:\nhttps://www.iompolice.im\n7 submissions were received for Lot 1 at the Standard Selection Questionnaire stage.\nAs per corrigendum 2024/S 000-020175 published on 2nd July 2024 - The tender documentation associated with notice reference: 2022/S 000-002330 stated that the Contracting Authority (as defined in the Public Contract Regulations 2015) was West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Wellington House, 40-50 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 2DE. This has changed, for the Framework Agreement only, to BlueLight Commercial 12517649 Lower Ground, 5-8 The Sanctuary, Westminster, London, SW1P 3JS with effect from 13th September 2023.\nAs per corrigendum 2024/S 000-024601 published on 6th August 2024 - The tender documentation associated with notice reference: 2022/S 000-002330 stated that any leases for the aircraft would be held by the bidders. This model has been changed so that participating contracting authorities (authorised to access the framework agreement(s)) will be the entity entering into the lease agreements with third party finance providers.\nBlueLight Commercial Limited (being the current contracting authority of the Procurement, having replaced West Yorkshire Combined Authority as the Authority) took the decision to abandon Lot 2 and Lot 3 of this Procurement. The Authority decided that, in light of the quantum of the initial bids and the indication from tenderers given during subsequent commercial workshops, that these initial bids would likely only increase at final tender stage, it would not represent value for money to the public purse, for it to proceed with Lot 2 and Lot 3 of the Procurement. Bidders were notified of this abandonment on 5th July 2024.",
