Report Summary
Issued 9 May 2023, this FOI response confirms that information on how service vehicles are insured against third party risks is not held by the Scottish Police Authority. Advice is provided that Police Scotland may hold information and link provided to the public contract register.
Request
I would like you to confirm how the Service indemnifies vehicles against third party risks, either by placing a bond or purchasing an insurance policy. Please also confirm if these vehicles are registered on the MID and how these are maintained (be it by insurance company, list submitted to court)
- If this is by bond, who holds the financial asset, what is the value of this bond, and how many vehicles does this cover (with a breakdown of car, van, truck etc.).
- If this is by insurance, please provide a copy of the certificate of insurance and appropriate policy information, confirm how much this insurance costs, who the underwriter is, how many vehicles this covers and when the policy is up for renewal. Finally, please confirm how the Service tenders out its vehicle insurance requirements.
