Summary of the contracting process

The Lancashire Constabulary has concluded the procurement process for the supply of Public Order Uniform & Equipment for the period from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2030. The procurement falls under the industry category of police uniforms, classified under CPV code 35811200, and is valued at GBP 741,000. Conducted through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, this contract involved the appointment of multiple suppliers, including MLA LTD, Derby Unitex Ltd, and D.M.S Protective Equipment Limited, to provide uniform items across the North West region of the United Kingdom. This award was made official on 28th April 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for established large-scale businesses in the uniform manufacturing and distribution sector, particularly those focused on public service equipment. The five-year contract duration offers a stable supply chain opportunity for the selected suppliers, fostering business growth through consistent demand from a major public entity like the Lancashire Constabulary. As the procurement method was selective and not open to SMEs or VCSE, businesses in this sector with established capabilities in fulfilling framework agreements are well-suited to benefit from such opportunities.
