Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk Constabulary procured new military helmets for N&S and Essex. The requirement is for goods, specifically PSU helmets, classified under CPV 35813000 for military helmets. Delivery is in the East of England, including the area associated with postcode NR18 0WW. The stated purpose is to equip the relevant policing operations with new helmets. Norfolk Constabulary is the buying organisation. The requirement may be relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist protective-equipment suppliers able to provide military or public-order helmets at the required scale. It is a focused equipment supply requirement rather than a service, construction or maintenance contract, and is linked to operational policing needs in the named areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Norfolk Constabulary used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to MLA on 26 August 2026 for £187,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This outcome identifies MLA as the selected supplier for the full stated requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the release does not state separate quality or price weightings.

This award confirms demand from Norfolk Constabulary for new PSU helmets serving N&S and Essex, with a three-year operational supply requirement. A future competitor would need dependable access to military or public-order helmet products, the capacity to supply policing equipment at this scale, and the ability to fulfil deliveries across the East of England and the named operational areas. Suppliers already participating in the relevant framework, or able to secure access to an appropriate framework route, would be well placed to compete through the buyer’s chosen call-off process. The stated SME and VCSE suitability indicates that smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors or social enterprises may be credible competitors where they can demonstrate reliable product supply and fulfilment.
