Summary of the contracting process

Bluelight Commercial recently completed the procurement process for the provision of police uniform trousers, leveraging an open procedure. The contract has been awarded to both Charles Fellows Supplies Limited and Ilasco Ltd. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category within the police uniforms industry, with additional classification for trousers (CPV code: 18234000). The contract commenced on 12th September 2025 and will run until 11th September 2029. This initiative is targeted at equipping frontline officers with modern, practical workwear across various locations including the United Kingdom and beyond.
