Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the purchase of body armour by Lancashire Constabulary, aiming for a potential three-year contract with a budget of £550,000, categorised under protective and safety clothing. This direct procurement action, classified as a single tender action below the threshold, had a tender period that ended on 5 April 2020. The awarded contract, which is active, commenced on 1 June 2020 and is set to conclude on 31 May 2023. The procurement primarily took place within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing or supply of protective clothing and equipment.
