Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority has concluded a public procurement process for the supply of Body Armour, Ancillary Items, and Services. This contract, identified by the code "Proc-22-1635," involves a direct award for the provision of these goods within the public order and safety sector. The procurement method employed was limited, accomplished via the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) Framework, and is characterised as falling outside the usual directive scope. The process culminated on 19th June 2025, resulting in a signed contract valued at GBP 800,000. The procurement activity predominantly involves deliveries within the region of Scotland, with the main contractor being Safariland UK Ltd.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in the production or supply of protective equipment to engage with public sector safety services. While the direct award approach used indicates a limited competitive bidding environment, businesses that can navigate frameworks like the YPO may leverage similar opportunities for growth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in public safety equipment and uniform services, would find themselves well-positioned to meet the demands of similar contracts. Engagement with such public sector opportunities can facilitate expansion, enhance reputation, and encourage participation in future tendering processes.
