Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary bought tactical shirts and trousers for firearms officers, including fire-retardant garments intended to help prevent burns and injuries. The requirement also serves the Thames Valley Police Joint Operations Unit, so suppliers need to understand the operational clothing needs of firearms teams and joint policing arrangements. This is a goods contract for police uniforms, delivered in the South West of England. The buyer is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, based in Eastleigh. The requirement is suited to small and medium-sized businesses and concerns the supply of finished uniform garments rather than general policing services or equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 1 July 2026 to SBI Tac Pro Limited for £20,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. SBI Tac Pro Limited is the selected supplier and the award is active. The requirement covers the combined firearms-uniform need described for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary and the Thames Valley Police Joint Operations Unit. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £20,000.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist operational clothing for firearms officers, with particular emphasis on shirts and trousers that provide fire resistance. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would have a reliable range of tactical uniform garments, the technical capability to provide fire-retardant clothing, and experience supplying police, security or other high-risk operational users. They would also need dependable garment sizing, quality control and fulfilment processes capable of supporting a constabulary and a joint operations unit. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist supplier can meet this type of public-sector uniform requirement, rather than it being limited to a large clothing manufacturer.
