Summary of the contracting process

In the recently completed procurement process led by the Police And Crime Commissioner for Durham, an award was granted for 'Operational Trousers' under the goods category focusing on police uniforms. The location of the execution is within the UKC14 region, specifically Durham, United Kingdom. This tender falls within the framework agreement for the provision of uniform trousers and utilises a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication, due to it being outside the scope of the directive. The contractual agreement was signed with the supplier Ilasco on 27 March 2026, with the provision details set for execution shortly thereafter.

This tender's completion presents valuable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in uniform production or apparel that meets specific operational requirements, especially those capable of offering lightweight, breathable fabrics tailored to specific roles. With Ilasco, a large-scale supplier based in Glenrothes, securing the contract, other such companies might find similar opportunities appealing to public law bodies. Companies able to provide innovative, durable textiles with flexibility to accommodate both male and female staff within security and public safety sectors are particularly well-suited for this type of procurement process, encouraging further engagement with public organisations like the Police Commissioner.
