## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of collection and delivery services. The contract, valued at £5,000,000, falls under the motor vehicles industry category and involves services primarily in the region of England, United Kingdom. This contract was awarded using the negotiated procedure without prior publication under regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to urgent and unforeseeable circumstances. The tender process concluded on 17th October 2024, and the contract period runs from 18th October 2024 until 17th October 2026.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in logistics and transportation, particularly those that can provide rapid and reliable delivery services. Given the scale and urgency of the contract requirements, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement method chosen highlights the need for agility and the ability to meet tight deadlines, making it an advantageous opportunity for businesses adept at managing expedited logistics and operational efficiency. The awarded supplier, DMN Rapid Logistics Ltd, exemplifies such capabilities, showcasing the potential for substantial business growth through similar public sector contracts.

## Notice

The contracting authority awards this contract under the regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication), primarily under regulation 32(2)(c) where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with. The factual basis to support this activity arises from the administration process regarding the originally awarded contractor resulting in a complete end to services. Consequently the contracting authority had to at pace insource a number of critical services to provide to itself as well as engage elements of the previously established and on-boarded supply chain for services it is not able to provide to itself.
