Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria has awarded a contract for the provision of fire-retardant PSU overalls to MI HUB LIMITED, with the award date set for 4th March 2026. Operating primarily in Newcastle, this procurement falls under the industry categories of coveralls and police uniforms. The contract, valued at £487,007.40, involves nationwide delivery across multiple regions of the United Kingdom and is governed under the UKPGA 2023/54 regulation. This procurement was conducted using an open procedure, ensuring transparency and competitiveness, and it is currently at the award stage, with the contract period scheduled from 16th March 2026 to 15th March 2029, with a potential renewal option extending to March 2030.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying protective clothing and uniforms, particularly targeting fire-retardant and police-specific attire. SMEs were notably active, comprising two-thirds of the final stage bids, demonstrating the competitive scope for smaller enterprises. Companies in regions such as Castle Donington and similar localities, focusing on quality and competitive pricing, would be well-suited to vie for such contracts given the emphasis on quality and cost-effectiveness as part of the award criteria. This setup offers a promising avenue for business growth by engaging with public sector procurement, enhancing industry standards and innovation through specialised service delivery.
