UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk is buying uniform trousers for police forces in Norfolk and Suffolk. This is a supply requirement for police uniform clothing, specifically trousers, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is for goods rather than services or works. The stated scope is limited to uniform trousers; no broader clothing range or associated service is described.

The contract has been awarded to Charles Fellow following a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 14 October 2026, with a stated value of £157,400 excluding VAT (£188,880 including VAT). The contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 12 October 2029, with provision for two 12-month extensions, potentially extending the end date to 10 October 2031. The procurement was handled as a single lot. The award is active, and the contract signature was scheduled for 14 October 2026. The award covers supply of the uniform trousers for Norfolk and Suffolk.

For suppliers of police uniform clothing, this award demonstrates demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk for a substantial, multi-year supply of uniform trousers serving Norfolk and Suffolk. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to source or manufacture suitable police uniform trousers and meet the buyer’s needs across both force areas over an extended contract term. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement was placed with a supplier operating at scale; however, the procurement data does not establish that large-business status was a formal eligibility condition. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so it does not evidence a competitive evaluation or specific technical qualifications that suppliers would need to satisfy.
