UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire bought microfleece garments for police uniform use. The requirement covers the provision of microfleece rather than construction, installation or a wider uniform-management service. Delivery extends across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is based in Leicester and is responsible for policing in Leicestershire. This is a goods requirement suited to clothing manufacturers, uniform specialists, workwear suppliers and distributors able to provide police-style microfleece garments and support delivery across multiple English regions. The procurement relates to one completed lot and is connected to an existing framework arrangement for uniform supply.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was run as a selective, below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. HUNTER APPAREL SOLUTIONS LIMITED was selected on 3 September 2026. The award and contract value is £31,080 excluding VAT and £37,296 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029. The buyer holds two 12-month extension options, allowing the arrangement to continue until 27 September 2031. The contract is below the applicable threshold. One lot was completed, with HUNTER APPAREL SOLUTIONS LIMITED as the awarded supplier. The published information records no separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award shows recurring public-sector demand for police microfleece garments, bought through a framework route and supplied across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in police, uniform or workwear supply, with reliable sourcing or manufacture of consistent garments and the capacity to fulfil orders across multiple regions. Experience of public-sector framework arrangements would be commercially relevant, since this buyer used an existing framework rather than an open standalone competition. Suppliers should also be able to manage uniform-quality expectations, dependable delivery and repeat supply for an operational policing customer. The successful provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can be served by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant businesses include specialist apparel manufacturers, uniform distributors and framework-approved workwear suppliers.
