Technical requirements: The objective of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement for the delivery of coercive resources.
Coercive resources are a part of daily work tools. The offered material is expected to be of such a nature and quality that the products tolerate daily use, maintain an even performance and fulfil service needs. The material will be used indoor and outdoor, under all weather conditions and in varying temperatures, so they must, therefore, be robust.
Further information about the procurement is given in Annex A the Requirement specification Coercive Resources: Lot 1 — Handcuffs with accessories, Annex A2 the Requirement Specification Coercive Resources; Lot 2 — Restraint belt, Annex A3 the Requirement specification Coercive Resources; Lot 3 — Anti-Spit protection, Annex A4 the Requirement Specification Coercive Resources; Lot 4 — Inflatable strips.
Coercive resources such as handcuffs, etc. make up an important part of the protective equipment for the intervention police service persons, as well as taking care of the apprehended person and, in some cases, third persons' safety. There are, therefore, very high requirements for the products, as regards the production process, quality and quality control. The products will be used under all weather conditions with varying temperatures and precipitation, which can be expected by the operative police in Norway. They must tolerate frequent use and have good durability over a long time. They must tolerate frequent cleaning, including disinfectants, without this affecting the functionality and surface of the products. Handcuffs included in the procurement shall have keyholes on both sides, a total of 4 keyholes on each handcuff. The handcuffs shall have 4 keyholes in order to prevent unfortunate situations where the apprehended person is wearing 2 sets of handcuffs, e.g. when presented for arrest and the keyholes are pressed against each other and therefore impossible to unlock.
Based on procurements in previous years, the contracting authority can give a non-binding estimate of the value in the contract period (including the option years) of approx. 2 700 000 NOK excluding VAT for Lot 1 handcuffs with accessories.
