UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is procuring general duty operational footwear for Police Scotland, for use in routine policing duties. This is a goods supply requirement for footwear, rather than a footwear-related service or works contract. The award covers one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement description identifies the selected supplier as preferred supplier of this footwear through the Bluelight Commercial Framework. The Scottish Police Authority is the buyer; Police Scotland is the operational service for which the footwear is intended.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to J P Bond & Co through an award under the Bluelight Commercial Framework, using a selective route; the call-off was not competitive. The award was dated 7 October 2026 and is recorded as pending. Its value is £999,999 excluding VAT (£1,199,998.80 including VAT). The contract period is 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2029. There is one lot, covering general duty operational footwear. The award data does not state evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be summarised.

For suppliers looking to compete when this requirement returns to market, the award shows demand for a substantial, multi-year supply of general duty operational footwear for a police service. A credible competitor would need to source and supply footwear suitable for routine operational use, and demonstrate the capacity to meet requirements at this scale across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier was appointed through the Bluelight Commercial Framework, so access to an appropriate framework route is commercially relevant. This outcome also indicates that the buyer uses a framework award for this requirement; suppliers should be prepared to compete through that route and to evidence reliable supply capability for a public-sector customer.
