The initiative falls within the industry category of providing goods, specifically police uniforms, and was completed under the BLC0275 framework with a selective procurement method, indicating a direct award. This involved a competitive tendering process below the threshold. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £35,280, commenced on 20th July 2026 and will end on 19th July 2029, with provisions for two potential one-year extensions. The supplier selected for this contract was Cooneen Defence Limited based in Fivemiletown, providing goods classified under the CPV code 35811200.

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying police and defence apparel, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking government contracts under established frameworks.
