Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is seeking suppliers for the supply and delivery of outdoor clothing and related equipment for police use, ensuring a continued supply of specified products. The goods include protective and safety clothing, occupational clothing, special workwear, accessories and equipment. The requirement is divided between general-purpose cold and wet-weather clothing and specialist clothing and equipment. Delivery is to Northern Ireland. This is a goods procurement for businesses supplying operational, protective or specialist workwear, clothing accessories and associated equipment. Suppliers may be able to bid for either or both areas, subject to the limit on bids across the two lots.

The process has reached tender: PSNI invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 11 February 2025 at 3:00pm, with bids opened at 3:30pm the same day. Bids had to remain valid until 11 June 2025 at 11:59pm. The planned contract period is 1,080 days, with one option to extend by up to 24 months. The stated overall estimated value is £240,000. Lot 1 was valued at £66,000; Lot 2 was originally valued at £174,000, then amended to £348,000 because of a calculation error. Suppliers could bid for a maximum of two lots. Evaluation is 50% price, 25% product supply and lead times, 15% quality control, and 10% contract management and contingency arrangements. Variant bids were not allowed.

This opportunity suits established workwear, protective clothing and specialist equipment suppliers able to maintain a reliable supply of specified products for a public-sector customer. Strong performance will depend on demonstrable product supply arrangements, dependable lead times and effective quality-control processes. Suppliers should also be able to provide structured contract management and credible contingency arrangements to protect continuity of supply. The two lots offer routes for businesses focused on general-purpose cold and wet-weather clothing, specialist clothing, or both, although bids may cover no more than two lots. The requirement is particularly relevant to organisations with experience supplying occupational or operational clothing at sustained volume, managing product quality and responding effectively when supply or delivery problems arise. Contract performance will be monitored, with serious or continuing failures potentially leading to escalation, termination and exclusion from relevant future competitions.
