Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales Police and North Wales Police procured winter gloves for police uniform use. The requirement is for the supply of gloves to support policing operations, with delivery in Wales. This is a goods contract rather than a services or works opportunity. The buying organisation is the joint North Wales Police and Police and Crime Commissioner arrangement. Suppliers operating in police clothing, uniform supply, protective workwear or related equipment would find the requirement most relevant, particularly those able to provide winter gloves suitable for operational use. The procurement concerns supply over a multi-year period and forms part of the buyer’s uniform and equipment purchasing activity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Responses were due by 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 28 August 2026 to Level Peaks Associated Limited for £30,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030, giving an initial four-year supply arrangement with the stated potential to extend to 2030. The tender was evaluated as a single goods requirement for winter gloves, with no lots identified. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, and the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

This procurement shows a defined demand from North Wales Police for the ongoing supply of winter gloves used as part of police uniform provision. A credible future competitor would need dependable sourcing or manufacturing arrangements for winter gloves, product quality suitable for operational policing, and the capacity to fulfil repeat supply requirements over a multi-year contract. Experience supplying police uniforms, protective workwear or comparable public-sector equipment would help demonstrate understanding of operational users, specification compliance and consistent delivery. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating that the requirement can favour organisations with established procurement, stock management and distribution capability. Suppliers should also be able to respond through an open competitive procedure and present a clear, compliant offer against the buyer’s glove specification.
