Summary of the contracting process

The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police has completed the procurement process for a 5-year call-off contract for the provision of PAVA Incapacitant Spray, under the Blue Light Commercial National Framework BLC0090. This procurement falls under the industry category of police equipment, specifically as a goods procurement, and is limited in nature, involving an award procedure without prior publication. The procurement process, initiated in the Thames Valley Police HQ in Kidlington, Oxfordshire (region UKJ14), culminated on 5th November 2025 with a contract valued at £70,000 awarded to Civil Defence Supply Ltd.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying police equipment, particularly those capable of providing specialist defence items like incapacitant sprays. Companies that are already positioned to comply with existing PCR205-compliant frameworks, or those looking to expand into the public safety and order sector, would find this procurement advantageous. Large-scale suppliers, such as Civil Defence Supply Ltd, who have experience in delivering to public law enforcement agencies, can leverage this contract to enhance their market credibility and expand their footprint within the UK's security apparatus.
