Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured PAVA incapacitant spray for operational use and training. This is a goods requirement for police and public-safety equipment, intended to support operational activity and staff training. The listed delivery location is Staffordshire Police Headquarters in Stafford; the procurement also records delivery addresses across the United Kingdom and several other territories and regions. The buyer is the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire. The requirement is focused on supplying the spray rather than providing a wider security or training service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Civil Defence Supply Ltd. The award was made on 29 June 2026, at a value of £36,614.70. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 15 July 2024 to 14 July 2028. The procurement records a submission deadline of 14 July 2024. No lot breakdown is provided. The requirement was classified as goods, and suitability was marked as not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information does not set out the evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further.

This award shows demand from Staffordshire’s police and public-safety buyer for PAVA incapacitant spray for both operational deployment and training. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the product reliably and support the operational and training uses described, with the capacity to serve a public-sector buyer across the recorded delivery footprint. The selected supplier was identified as a large business, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this signals that the buyer expected a supplier able to meet its requirements at an established scale. The call-off route also indicates that framework access is relevant to competing for this specific type of supply.
