Summary of the contracting process

The recent tender, titled "Keela Uniform items for the Police Forces of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk," was managed by The Police and Crime Commissioners for these regions including the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex. Classified under the industry category of police uniforms (CPV: 35811200), this procurement process involves a contract for the supply of police uniforms via the Kent County Council Commercial Services Group (KCS) Framework Y23024. The agreement is set to run from 17th November 2025 to 16th November 2027, with options for three one-year extensions. Located in the East of England, with delivery addresses such as NR18 0WW, the procurement has reached the award stage, with Keela being the awarded supplier. The total value of this tender is £985,000, using a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in uniform manufacturing, particularly those with experience in producing police uniforms. It provides long-term growth opportunities, given the contract's potential extensions and the commitment of substantial funds (nearly £1 million). Smaller businesses (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as indicated by the tender’s suitability criteria. Businesses located or operating near the East of England may find logistical advantages, although the process was selective; thus, companies should ensure they are part of relevant frameworks to be considered in similar future opportunities.
