Summary of the contracting process

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) procured the supply and delivery of outdoor clothing for continued access to specified products. The requirement covered general-purpose cold and wet-weather clothing, plus specialist clothing and equipment, including occupational clothing, workwear and accessories. The procurement was divided between these two areas, with the specialist clothing and equipment requirement awarded. Delivery is across Northern Ireland. The goods are intended for police use and include protective and safety clothing. This is a clothing supply opportunity rather than a manufacturing, construction or general services contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of specialist protective clothing, outdoor workwear, equipment and associated accessories that can support public-sector product, delivery and contract-management requirements.

The procurement has reached completion: the general-purpose cold and wet-weather clothing lot was unsuccessful, while the specialist clothing and equipment lot was awarded under an open procedure. The specialist lot was awarded to a supplier whose identity is withheld for security reasons, and the contract was signed on 22 June 2026. Its awarded and contracted value is £174,000, with a 1,080-day contract period. The original estimated value for this lot was amended from £174,000 to £348,000 because of a calculation error, but the recorded contract value is £174,000. The overall estimated procurement value was £240,000. Evaluation for both lots used 50% price, 25% product supply and lead times, 15% quality control, and 10% contract management and contingency arrangements. Five bids were received for the awarded lot, including three from SMEs.

This procurement shows demand from PSNI for specialist outdoor and protective clothing that must be supplied reliably over a sustained contract period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a suitable range of specialist clothing and equipment, including occupational workwear and accessories, together with dependable product supply and lead-time management. The evaluation places equal importance on price and the supplier’s ability to deliver products when required, so stock planning, sourcing resilience and clear fulfilment arrangements would matter. Quality-control systems are also central, as is the ability to manage the contract and provide contingency arrangements when supply or delivery is disrupted. The previous competition attracted five bids, three from SMEs, indicating that smaller established suppliers can compete where they can demonstrate the necessary product capability, quality assurance and operational capacity.
