Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Constabulary has completed the procurement process for the supply of limb protectors, with the contract awarded to Michael Lupton Associates LTD (MLA). The industry category for this procurement is protective and safety clothing. The delivery locations include a broad range from the United Kingdom to various territories worldwide. The tender process concluded on 9th October 2025, and the contract is set to run from 20th October 2025 to 19th October 2027. Cheshire Constabulary served as the buying organisation, with Barbara Beardsley as the contact person. The process employed an unspecified procurement method indicated as "Other - " and reached the award stage on 30th October 2025.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of safety clothing, especially those with capabilities to serve international markets. Companies with robust production and distribution networks, along with a readiness to engage with large public sector contracts, would find this an ideal opportunity. While SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not have been the focus, larger businesses with the infrastructure to deliver on a global scale are well-suited to leverage this tender for expansion and establishing a foothold in the public safety apparel sector.
