## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service is seeking to procure Vehicle Locksmith Services, a project classified under locksmith services, located across various sites in Greater London. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract valued at £480,000 for a term from 1st June 2020 to 31st May 2022, which includes an option for an additional year. The tender process used was an open procedure, with the bidding period having concluded on 26th March 2020.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in locksmith services and vehicle recovery. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to compete, as they can provide necessary expertise in handling vehicles involved in crime and forensically examining them. Furthermore, given the 24/7 operation of the service across multiple locations in London, businesses with a flexible service capacity and relevant experience in public sector contracts may find this tender particularly appealing for growth prospects.
