Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire has concluded a procurement process titled "Herts Police – Phoenix Labour costs" related to the services industry, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services. This contract involves the provision of labour, travel, and expenses for the Hertfordshire Police, covering the period from 29th June 2026 to 10th July 2026. Based in Harpenden, the buyer's address details include Harpenden Police Station, 13 Vaughan Road, with the procurement being managed under a limited competition method due to it being below the threshold. The status of the procurement is complete, with the contract having been signed on 26th June 2026.

This contract presents business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises within the repair and maintenance services sector. With Smart Audio Visual Services, an SME located in Hitchin, awarded the contract, it illustrates the potential for similar-sized businesses to compete effectively under limited competition procurement methods. The nature of the services required can be suitable for businesses specialising in technical support and maintenance operations, providing an avenue for establishing or enhancing relationships with public authority clients. Businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector, particularly those within the UKH23 region, may find such tenders particularly beneficial.
