Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire focused on the "Provision of Public Order Shields". This procurement, categorized under "goods" within the anti-riot equipment industry, involved a direct procurement method below threshold, resulting in an award without competition. The tender process is complete, with the contract running from 21 October 2025 to 20 October 2026, located at Wellingborough, UK, specifically from Darby House, Park Farm Industrial Estate. The procurement process was governed by the UK Public Procurement Act 2023/54, and the contract was awarded to Chiltern Global LTD.

This tender offers substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in security and defence equipment, particularly those capable of supplying anti-riot gear such as public order shields. Although no competition was involved due to the chosen procurement method, enterprises seeking to expand into public sector supply chains may draw lessons from this procurement's direct award to Chiltern Global LTD. Large companies, particularly those with existing capabilities in providing compliant safety equipment, would be well-positioned to pursue similar future opportunities with sub-central government public authorities.
