Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involved the supply of specialist gases and was conducted by Northumbria Police, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The contract was awarded on 1st November 2025, and it is valued at £30,000. The procurement falls under the Industrial gases category, with the delivery set in the North East of the United Kingdom. The contract period spans from 1st November 2025 to 31st December 2026. This procurement process utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, and it is currently at the Award stage, with the award notice published on 5th February 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies capable of supplying industrial gases. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given Northumbria Police's consideration for SMEs in the procurement process. The awarded contract to BOC Ltd, a large-scale supplier, highlights the potential for well-established firms to compete effectively, but SMEs with the capability to deliver to the North East region should also find it a competitive opportunity. The framework agreement approach suggests ongoing opportunities for future call-offs, favouring businesses with a strategic framework presence.
