Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Labour Costs," was conducted by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, a public authority within the sub-central government category, based at Harpenden Police Station, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. The tender, with the ID C20580, involves services related to labour, travel, and expenses for Herts Police’s Phoenix Labour project. The procurement method was limited competition under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The award and contract status are both complete, with the award being made on 15 June 2026 and the contract period running from 23 to 26 June 2026. The project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in providing repair and maintenance services, particularly those capable of handling labour-related projects. Due to the limited competition procurement method, businesses with established capabilities in servicing government contracts are well-suited to compete. While Smart Audio Visual Services Ltd, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract, other similar businesses with competencies in handling governmental maintenance and cost-focused services can look out for similar opportunities in future tenders issued by sub-central public authorities like The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire.
