UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Chief Constable for Devon and Cornwall Police is buying emergency traffic-management signs and associated equipment for five police forces in the South West. The requirement covers the supply of road traffic-control equipment, supporting police responses that need temporary traffic management. The award identifies delivery in the South West of England. This is a goods contract, rather than a works or service commission, and is relevant to suppliers able to provide traffic signs and related equipment for use across multiple police forces. The five-force scope indicates a regional requirement rather than a single-site purchase; suppliers should be equipped to supply the participating forces’ needs across the region.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to WESTON SM LLP. The award was made on 29 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). Its initial term runs from 3 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with one 12-month extension available at the buyer’s discretion, potentially extending the term to 29 September 2031. The buyer used an open procedure. Bids were assessed on quality (50%), price (40%) and social value (10%). The contract includes performance measures for delivery performance, product compliance, and defective goods or delivery errors, reviewed every three months.

For suppliers considering future requirements from Devon and Cornwall Police and the other participating South West forces, this award shows demand for emergency traffic-management signs and associated equipment through a single regional supply arrangement. Credible competitors will need to demonstrate they can supply compliant road traffic-control products and manage reliable deliveries across a multi-force customer base. Performance is monitored against delivery, product compliance, and defects or delivery errors, so evidence of effective quality control and dependable fulfilment would be relevant. The evaluation gave half the weighting to quality, with price and social value also assessed; suppliers should therefore be able to explain both product and service quality and their social value contribution. The contract was awarded to an SME, and the procurement identified SME suitability.
