Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire commissioned the production of Safer Schools Parking Packs. These are goods, including signage and related signs, intended for use by all primary schools in Northamptonshire. The purpose is to help reduce unsafe parking around schools. The requirement covers a single package rather than separate lots. The buying organisation is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, based in Wellingborough. Delivery and use of the packs will take place across Northamptonshire’s primary schools. The opportunity therefore suits suppliers able to develop, produce and support a coordinated signage-based parking safety package for a county-wide school audience.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received. Cubed Creative was selected on 5 March 2026 for a gross value of £85,053.60, equivalent to £70,878 excluding VAT. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award and contract cover the Safer Schools Parking Packs and associated signage. The recorded award is below the relevant threshold. This was a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the route used involved a restricted field of competing suppliers.

For a supplier assessing future work with this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for practical school parking-safety materials combining pack production with signage. A credible competitor would need to show that it can translate a public-safety objective into usable materials for primary schools and produce or source signs and related items consistently across a county-wide requirement. The two-bid competition indicates that suppliers with a focused offer in this area can be considered through a limited route. Relevant businesses are likely to include signage manufacturers, creative production companies and firms able to coordinate design, manufacture and distribution of school-facing parking packs at substantial scale.
