Description

West Yorkshire Police are seeking to find a supplier to carry out vehicle
conversion requirements to deliver fit for purpose and compliant Marked
Protected Personnel Carrier. All completed vehicles must meet all requirements
under prevailing Construction and Use Regulations, Health & Safety, PUWER
and best practice.

The build specification relates to elements of the ACPO recommended
specification; the build will be to this specification unless expressly stated as a
West Yorkshire Requirement. Note that as the base vehicle has already been
purchased, then those aspects of the specification have been removed.

No part of the vehicle build (equipment or workmanship) should invalidate the
vehicle manufacturer's warranty. All equipment must comply with interior
passenger protection legislation. The deployment of all or any airbags or other
vehicle safety system should not be compromised.

The fitment of equipment should minimise the interference to existing ergonomics
of vehicle design, for example it should not make any reduction to potential air
flow through the centre vents. The fitment should not reduce the driver's vision
through the front screen nor should the functionality of the existing switches or
controls be affected.

In any case:
• The final product should not interfere with or compromise in any way the
vehicle in meeting any of the following previously established standards (see
below).
• The vehicle build must not prevent any maintenance of the vehicle and
allow for ease of access to vehicle bulbs and other critical areas.
• All materials fitted to the external aspect of the vehicle to be flame
retardant; details to be provided.
• On award, West Yorkshire Police will require a detailed specification of
the proposed build, design drawings and material samples (e.g. interior
panelling).
