Legal Justification

The incumbent supplier is the OEM and Home Office approved supplier for the current Evidential Breath Alcohol Instrument, and are currently working towards type approval for the next generation instrument. Due to the criticality of the equipment, there will be a need for continued calibration and maintenance service support for the existing equipment from the OEM, until the next generation instrument is available to the market. The OEM has supported this equipment for over ten years and provided an excellent level of support to date. The supplier has a legal obligation to retain Type Approved status of the existing Intoximeters as directed by the Home Office under the Breath Alcohol Screening Devices publication Version 1.0 dated 30 Jun 04, and any subsequent revisions of this document.
