Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Emergency Warning Equipment" for police vehicles was conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, with a procurement stage marked as complete. This tender falls under the goods category, with an industry focus on equipment for emergency vehicles. The location for delivery is specified as the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKD region. Using a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition, the contract was awarded to ECCO Safety Group. The contract, signed on 3rd December 2025, became active from 4th December 2025 and is set to run until 30th November 2027, with potential annual renewals extending up to 2029. The total contract value is £96,000, and significant stakeholders in this process include the buying organisation in Preston and the supplier based in Leeds.

This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the manufacturing or supply of emergency vehicle equipment. Large-scale suppliers, like ECCO Safety Group, who can leverage their established infrastructure and supply chains, are well-suited to these types of procurement opportunities. The absence of competitive tendering for this contract highlights a niche market space often overlooked by smaller enterprises, opening the door to future collaborations on similar direct procurement projects. Businesses in the emergency services supply sector may find ongoing opportunities in renewing or expanding the scope of existing contracts, especially with renewal clauses permitting annual extensions beyond the initial term.
