UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands bought X54 electric bicycles from Halfords Limited. This is a goods procurement for bicycles, with the specified make and model sourced from an approved supplier. The description says the purchase was jointly paid for using Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) funds. The stated delivery location is the West Midlands, England. The requirement is for a particular bicycle model rather than a general cycling or transport service, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide that product or to businesses tracking public-sector demand for police bicycle purchases.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Halfords Limited. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 12 January 2026, with a contract period from 13 January to 13 April 2026. Its value was £84,856.50 excluding VAT and £101,827.80 including VAT. The award covered one lot, for bicycles. The procurement description identifies a specific make and model from an approved supplier; no evaluation criteria are recorded. The purchase was described as jointly paid for with POCA funds. The award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers monitoring future requirements from the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, this purchase indicates demand for a specific model of electric bicycle sourced through an approved supplier. A credible competitor would need to offer that model, or be able to meet a closely matching police requirement, and demonstrate dependable supply and delivery of bicycles at this scale. The direct award route used here was below threshold and without competition, so the purchase does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or the criteria a supplier would have to satisfy. Suppliers with relevant bicycle supply capability may find this buyer’s purchasing pattern useful when assessing their fit for similar future requirements. The stated joint use of POCA funding is also relevant to understanding the procurement’s funding context.
