Devon and Cornwall Police cover a geographic region of over 3,900 Sq Miles and employ over 3,500 Officers.

We invite suppliers with a proven past performance including technical capabilities and evidence of economic and financial standing for the following high-level specification to respond to the PIN:
• Supply of E-Bikes
• Maintenance and Service of E-Bikes
