Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Cheshire Constabulary, on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, seeking to supply safety letterboxes. This contract falls under the industry category of miscellaneous fire-protection equipment and covers a wide range of locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. Having moved through the procurement stages, the process is now in the award stage. A direct award method was used, and the tender was completed with the award status marked as active on 4th June 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £50,000, spans from 5th June 2025 to 21st April 2029.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in fire-protection equipment. Though the procurement process was conducted through a direct award, businesses with similar products or services can consider positioning themselves for future similar contracts. Large-scale businesses like Solon Security, which won this bid, highlight the potential for companies capable of delivering goods across multiple regions to benefit. Engaging with such public procurement processes can expand a firm's market presence and establish long-term governmental relationships.
