Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire is funding West Northamptonshire Council to support anti-social behaviour patrols through the Prevention & Intervention Knife Crime Concentration Fund. The requirement is a public service focused on patrol activity, with the stated purpose of preventing and intervening in knife crime and tackling anti-social behaviour. The work is delivered in West Northamptonshire, with the supplier based in Northampton. This is relevant to organisations providing neighbourhood patrols, community safety operations, anti-social behaviour response or related public protection services. The procurement is categorised as services, specifically patrol services. It concerns a single requirement rather than a range of separate service packages, and involves cooperation between a police and crime commissioner and a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to West Northamptonshire Council. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made on 18 May 2026. The awarded value is £25,000 gross. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was handled as one lot. The award is for patrol services supporting the knife crime prevention and intervention fund, including anti-social behaviour patrols. The recorded award outcome identifies West Northamptonshire Council as the selected supplier. A signature milestone was scheduled for 16 July 2026. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no scored evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award indicates demand from Northamptonshire public bodies for targeted patrol services linked to knife crime prevention, intervention and anti-social behaviour activity. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable future requirements would need credible capability in visible neighbourhood patrols and community safety work, with an operational approach suited to preventing harm and responding to anti-social behaviour. Experience of working with policing bodies, councils or other public-sector partners would be relevant, particularly where services need to support locally led prevention activity and public protection objectives. Organisations should be able to demonstrate reliable deployment of patrol personnel, effective coordination with public authorities and an understanding of the sensitivities surrounding knife crime. The selected supplier is a large local authority, indicating that institutional capacity and established public-sector relationships may be commercially significant.
