Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has concluded a public procurement process, involving the direct award of a contract for the provision of specialist police uniforms and 5.11 trousers to Warwickshire Police. The contract, initially valued at £20,000 excluding VAT, aimed to supply items for officers in specialised roles within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process has transitioned to the award stage as of 23 June 2025, with the contract spanning from 15 November 2023 to 14 November 2025, including an extension option that potentially increases the contract value to £45,000 excluding VAT. This procurement was conducted through a single tender action, leveraging an exemption process due to the unique requirements of the uniform items.

Businesses specialising in police uniforms, especially those capable of offering tailored solutions for specialist roles, may see growth opportunities from this tender. The contract demonstrates the niche demands within law enforcement procurement, highlighting business prospects for suppliers with unique offerings. The tender was secured by 5.11 International AB, a large-scale supplier, indicating potential for similar entities with expertise in police attire to compete in future opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) positioned well within the goods category may also find chances to engage with such specialised procurement needs.
