UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured personal protective equipment and uniform-related goods for policing and public-order support. The requirement covers PSU guards, specialist protective items, football spotter vests and other associated PPE and uniform accessories. The goods are delivered within Northamptonshire, serving the Commissioner’s operational requirements. This is a goods contract focused on protective gear rather than services, construction or general workwear. Businesses with a product range covering specialist public-order equipment, protective clothing and related uniform accessories are the most relevant comparators. The requirement is broad enough to cover associated items alongside the named equipment, so suppliers should be able to provide a coordinated range rather than a single isolated product.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Chiltern Global Ltd. The award date was 2 July 2026. It used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2029, with one optional 12-month extension that could extend the maximum period to 19 July 2030. Its value is up to £48,000 excluding VAT (£57,600 including VAT), and the authority states that this does not guarantee spend. The award covers one lot and is recorded as active. The named supplier is Chiltern Global Ltd. The contract concerns the provision of PSU equipment and accessories, including protective gear, specialist items, football spotter vests and associated PPE and uniform-related goods.

This award shows a Northamptonshire policing buyer’s demand for a mixed range of public-order equipment, protective gear and uniform accessories, with the requirement suitable for an SME supplier. A credible competitor for similar work would need reliable access to PSU guards, specialist protective equipment and football spotter vests, together with the ability to supply associated PPE and uniform items as required. Product breadth matters because the requirement is not limited to one type of article. Suppliers should also be able to support public-sector purchasing with consistent product quality, dependable fulfilment and capacity to serve operational requirements across Northamptonshire. Businesses already supplying police, fire, security or other public-order organisations may find the equipment profile and buyer type commercially relevant when assessing related opportunities.
