Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire bought replacement public order shields, covering intermediate and round shield types. This is a supply requirement for police public-order equipment, specifically anti-riot equipment. The shields are for delivery in Lancashire, within the North West of England. The contract covers replacement equipment rather than a wider public-order service or works programme, and relates to one lot. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire selected Civil Defence Supply Limited. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Its value is £66,030 excluding VAT (£79,236 including VAT). The procedure was a below-threshold limited competition. The requirement was for replacement intermediate and round public order shields, handled as one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the procurement method.

This award shows a recurring supply requirement for public order shields within Lancashire policing: both intermediate and round formats are in scope. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to source or manufacture suitable public-order equipment and demonstrate they can meet the buyer’s operational specification, deliver replacement stock reliably across the county, and compete through a limited competition. Civil Defence Supply Limited, an SME, was selected, showing that a supplier of this scale can serve the requirement. Relevant experience supplying police or other public-order users, dependable stock and fulfilment capacity, and the ability to support replacement purchasing over a multi-year period would help a competitor establish credibility.
