Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary bought general body armour for police officers, police community support officers, special constables and police staff investigators. The armour is intended for use as part of their uniform and to replace earlier body armour nearing expiry. This is a goods procurement for protective clothing, delivered in South East England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cooneen Defence Limited. The contract was called off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The awarded value is £250,000. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

This award shows demand from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary for body armour supplied as part of the uniform for several policing roles, including officers, special constables and police staff investigators. A credible future competitor would need to supply protective body armour suitable for those users and support replacement of equipment nearing expiry. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through an appropriate framework. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, indicating that this scale of requirement was not restricted to large suppliers.
