Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of black and hi-vis waterproof clothing, governed by the call-off via the BLC0203 framework, has reached the award stage. The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police, located in Kidlington, UKJ1 region, is the contracting authority. The procurement utilised a limited method, awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the conventional directive. The industry category is police uniforms, highlighting the necessity for specific items like waterproof jackets and trousers. The award was confirmed on 18 February 2026 with a contract valued at £253,007.79, benefiting from the overarching framework procedure, PCR2015.

The tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing waterproof clothing, particularly those familiar with public safety requirements and able to meet specific police uniform classifications. Future Garments T/A Eurox, classified as an SME based in Smethwick, West Midlands, has successfully capitalised on this opportunity. This procurement process demonstrates potential growth avenues for SMEs with capabilities in producing high-quality, durable clothing suited to the exact needs of public law bodies governed by procurement frameworks. Businesses with a reputable track record in supplying tailored garments for public safety forces may find similar opportunities advantageous in expanding their market reach.
