Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire procured first-aid supplies, classified as medical consumables. The goods are intended for delivery across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is for physical supplies rather than services or works. The named buyer is based in Leicester, and the delivery footprint extends well beyond Leicestershire, so suppliers need to be able to serve locations across these English regions. The published scope identifies first-aid supplies generally; it does not set out individual products or quantities in the procurement information provided.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to AERO HEALTHCARE LTD. The buyer used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2027, with one possible 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 29 November 2028. The contract value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The award is active and relates to one lot. The award date is not stated in the available process information. The contract is active, and the supplier has been selected; this is an outcome rather than a procurement seeking new bids.

For suppliers of first-aid and medical consumables, this award shows that the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire buys supplies for delivery across a broad English footprint, rather than a single local site. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable range of first-aid products and the operational capacity to fulfil orders across multiple regions. The awarded supplier, AERO HEALTHCARE LTD, is recorded as an SME, demonstrating that the requirement was met by a small or medium-sized business. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so the route used for this purchase did not test competing offers. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to demonstrate reliable supply and wide-area distribution; no specific product standards, accreditations or experience requirements are identified here.
