Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey – Decision Making Record
Report Title: Blue Light Customer Agreement
Decision number: 007/2021
Author and Job Role: Kelvin Menon – OPCC Treasurer
Protective Marking: OFFICIAL
Executive Summary
To enter in to a Customer Agreement with Blue Light Commercial Limited to enable the Force to participate in joint national procurements with other Forces. All forces and PCCs are parties to this agreement
Background
Blue Light Commercial was formed some years ago to enable Forces to procure collectively and thus make savings. The original agreement has now been updated to allow a wider range of Police Bodies to participate, to update data protection rules and a number of smaller legal alternations.
Blue light have made it clear that entering in to this agreement does not commit any individual force to participating in a joint procurement. This can be decided on a case by case basis as part of a best value assessment at the time.

To sign the Blue Light Customer Agreement as attached (agreement signed and kept in OPCC).
