OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority conducted an open procurement process for "FR Clothing" within the goods category, specifically targeting protective clothing suitable for public order and safety purposes. Located in Glasgow, the Authority serves as the central purchasing body. The tender, which reached the award stage, required submissions by 14th April 2025, and aimed to start awarding contracts from that date. The procurement process incorporated an open procedure and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Various documents, such as the tender document and contract notice, were provided, alongside clear guidelines for electronic submissions, underlining a focus on transparency and accessibility.

This procurement opportunity presents substantial business growth potential, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the protective clothing industry. The contract, valued at £24,000, was awarded to Protective Wear Supplies and Ilasco Ltd, both SMEs, highlighting the competitive advantage smaller firms may have when engaging in public tenders. Given the inclusion of a framework agreement, there is potential for long-term collaboration with the Scottish Police Authority. Companies with expertise in high-quality technical and protective workwear are well-suited to similar government contracts, demonstrating the opportunities within the public sector for innovation and development in product offerings.
