(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police Act 1996 (Equipment) Regulations 2011 ("the 2011 Regulations") which impose certain requirements where specified equipment is procured for police use.
Regulation 2 of the 2011 Regulations (requirements as to design and performance of equipment) provides that a police force can only use equipment falling within the scope of a relevant national framework arrangement if the equipment has been acquired in accordance with the procedures set out in that arrangement.
These amending Regulations disapply regulation 2 of the 2011 Regulations in the specific circumstance where the relevant national framework arrangement has expired or has otherwise terminated.
