UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured Method of Entry (MoE) kits for Northamptonshire Police. This is a goods requirement covering emergency and security equipment (CPV 35100000), intended for operational use by the police. Delivery is associated with Northamptonshire. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Wellingborough. The requirement concerns the supply of equipment rather than installation, consultancy or general security services. Suppliers whose core business is providing Method of Entry equipment, police operational equipment or comparable emergency and security products are the most directly relevant. The contract is held by Sigma Security Devices Limited, an SME based in Ashford, Kent.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sigma Security Devices Limited under one lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, with the award recorded on 21 August 2026. It runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2029, with one optional 12-month extension available from 21 August 2029, allowing a maximum end date of 20 August 2030. The contract value is up to £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT; the authority is not committed to spending the full amount. The route was a direct award below threshold without competition. The award was evaluated as a goods procurement for emergency and security equipment.

This completed contract is evidence that Northamptonshire Police buys Method of Entry kits through a below-threshold direct-award route and can maintain a requirement over a multi-year operating period. Suppliers considering similar future work should be able to provide reliable emergency and security equipment specifically suited to police Method of Entry activity, with product knowledge, dependable fulfilment and the capacity to support an operational public-sector customer. A credible competitor would also need to understand public-sector purchasing requirements, supply consistently within Northamptonshire and manage the practical demands of a police equipment contract. Sigma Security Devices Limited’s selection shows that an SME supplier can satisfy this requirement.
