Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey procured insignia, classified under police uniforms, for use by the Surrey policing organisation. The requirement covers the supply of uniform-related insignia and associated goods rather than services, construction or equipment installation. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Guildford, Surrey. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the goods linked to one completed lot. This is relevant to manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist suppliers of police uniform insignia, medals, badges or related uniform components that can supply public-sector policing customers and fulfil delivery requirements across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 March 2027. The awarded supplier is Worcestershire Medal Service Limited, an SME, and the award is active. The contract value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for the insignia requirement. The recorded award date is not stated separately from the contract signing information. The selected supplier will provide the police-uniform goods during the contract period.

This award confirms a defined purchasing requirement for police uniform insignia within Surrey policing and shows that the buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for a single-lot goods contract. Suppliers considering future work of this kind would need credible capability in producing or sourcing police uniform insignia and related uniform components, with reliable quality control and the capacity to fulfil a public-sector order. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller business can meet the requirement at this scale. Relevant competitors would benefit from experience supplying medals, badges, insignia or comparable uniform products, dependable UK delivery arrangements and the ability to respond to a straightforward buyer specification.
