UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk bought uniform trousers for police forces in Norfolk and Suffolk. This is a supply of police clothing, specifically trousers, for use as part of police uniforms. The procurement covers one lot and is associated with the Norfolk and Suffolk requirement; the named buyer is the Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner. The contract title and description identify the item and the forces served, but do not give further garment specifications, quantities or delivery sites. The supplier is Charles Fellow, based in Kingswinford. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of police uniform clothing, particularly businesses able to supply trousers for operational use across the two counties.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Charles Fellow through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026, the award was active, and the contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 12 October 2029. It has two possible 12-month renewals, with the maximum period extending to 10 October 2031. The contract value is £157,400 excluding VAT and £188,880 including VAT. The process had one lot, covering the uniform trousers requirement for Norfolk and Suffolk. No award evaluation criteria are recorded, consistent with the stated route of proceeding without competition.

For suppliers preparing to compete for similar police uniform requirements, this award demonstrates demand for trousers serving police forces in Norfolk and Suffolk, procured directly without a competition. A credible competitor would need to show it can supply uniform trousers suitable for police use and serve the needs of both forces. The successful supplier is a large business, indicating that a supplier with the capacity to meet a public-sector clothing requirement at this scale was selected; the contract also includes the possibility of continued supply through renewals. The procurement offers a useful indication of the buyer, product and purchasing route to monitor when developing a future offer for this specific requirement. The published scope does not establish particular technical standards, accreditations or supplier experience requirements.
