Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police has awarded a contract under the title "The Provision of Black Uniform Trousers," within the goods category of police uniforms. This contract, managed through a limited procurement method, specifically a call-off from the existing BLC0154 framework, was signed on 2 February 2026 and covers the delivery of uniform trousers from February 2026 to September 2029. The procurement process used an award procedure without prior publication, situated in region UKJ1, which aligns with the police's operational needs. No further action is required as this notice serves solely as a contract award notification.

This procurement represents a significant business opportunity for Charles Fellows Supplies Ltd, the supplier awarded the contract, valued at £386,166.44. As a small-to-medium enterprise (SME), this contract enhances their portfolio within the public order and safety sector. While this specific call-off did not involve a competitive tendering process, other businesses supplying similar goods could potentially benefit from future framework agreements or tenders issued by public sector bodies like Thames Valley Police for uniform supplies, especially if they align with SME profiles and have the capability to fulfill such contracts efficiently.
