Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Public Order Helmets" was led by Cambridgeshire Constabulary, in collaboration with Bedfordshire Police and Hertfordshire Constabularies. The procurement falls under the industry category of police uniforms, specifically under the CPV code 35811200. Situated in the East of England, the procurement process used a selective method by calling off from a framework agreement. Having reached the award stage by July 2025, the contract period extends from 5th June 2025 to 4th June 2029. The minimum value of the tender was set at £50,312, with the final contract awarded for £100,624 to the supplier, MLA.

This procurement opportunity offers growth potential for businesses supplying police equipment, particularly those capable of providing high-quality goods over a multi-year period. SMEs have shown suitability for this type of tender due to its selective nature, which can particularly benefit smaller enterprises looking to establish or expand their presence within the government contracting sectors. The award supports businesses focused on durable and compliant police uniforms and safety gear, making it an ideal fit for companies specialising in these product categories.
