UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime bought 300 public order long shields for policing use. This is a goods procurement for protective equipment and related accessories, classified under CPV 18000000. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based at 169 Union Street, London, and the requirement relates to its policing responsibilities. The selected supplier was D.M.S. Protective Equipment Limited, a large UK business based in the West Midlands. The requirement was handled as a single completed lot, covering the supply of the shields rather than associated services, construction or ongoing operational support. Businesses with products specifically designed for public order policing, crowd-control operations or comparable protective applications would be closest to this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a below-threshold tender, with the specific procedure described as unknown. D.M.S. Protective Equipment Limited received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 23 April 2025 and ran from 23 April 2025 to 23 May 2025. Its value was £35,616 excluding VAT, or £42,739.20 including VAT. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The published requirement was for 300 shields, so the contract represented a short, defined supply period rather than a long-term service arrangement. The available outcome records identify the winning supplier and contract value, but do not state an award date or a detailed evaluation weighting.

This procurement is useful market evidence for manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of public order shields and protective policing equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to supply substantial quantities of long shields and demonstrate that the products are suitable for operational public order use. Capacity to fulfil a 300-unit order within a short delivery window would be important, as would dependable UK distribution and stock or production planning. The awarded supplier is a large protective equipment business, indicating that scale and established supply capability were present in the successful offer. Businesses in this market should therefore be able to show product suitability, reliable fulfilment and experience handling equipment requirements for public-sector or policing customers.
