What the notice says

North Yorkshire Police (NYP) are undertaking a soft market testing exercise. The purpose of this is to engage with the market and gain a better understanding of the products and functionality available in relation to the market for firearms officer headsets which allows officers to work efficiently and effectively when out in the field. The intention of this market testing is to inform the force’s future competition specification, to invite responses to a short questionnaire. Please access the opportunity at the Bluelight E-procurement portal https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home and return questionnaire responses via the same portal.
