Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, working with the Metropolitan Police Service, procured a fully managed uniform and police clothing service for UK-wide delivery. The requirement covers uniform and protective garments, including anti-ballistic clothing, plus product design, supply, storage, stock management, ordering, fulfilment, distribution and customer support. The service is supported by a digital ordering and management platform. The contract is structured so that other public bodies can also call off the managed service or buy products, including Home Office police forces, British Transport Police, Border Force, the National Crime Agency, Ministry of Defence Police and emergency services organisations. The arrangement is intended to provide a single, consistent service rather than separate contracts for individual parts of the supply chain.

The procurement is complete and DHL Supply Chain Limited was selected for the single, undivided requirement. The award date was 8 June 2026. The stated award value is £500 million excluding VAT (£600 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034, with an option for extensions totalling up to 36 months, which may be applied in one or more periods. The open competitive flexible procedure used a framework agreement without reopening competition for call-offs. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and cost at 40%; suppliers also had to pass participation requirements and demonstrate relevant technical experience. Two valid bids were recorded. A 1% framework management fee applies to supplementary police force call-off contracts.

This award demonstrates demand for a national-scale uniform operation that combines products with end-to-end logistics and customer service. Suppliers competing for comparable work will need to show that they can manage complex supply chains and deliver large-scale managed services, alongside product development that brings innovation to customers. The single-supplier model places particular weight on the ability to provide a consistent range, quality and service across participating organisations, with clear accountability and effective stock and order management. Credible providers are likely to need established distribution and fulfilment capacity, secure storage, and a digital platform supporting ordering and service management. Experience integrating these capabilities into one reliable service is central; the procurement’s technical entry requirements explicitly tested such experience.
