## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, on behalf of Warwickshire Police, has completed a procurement process for the supply of helmets and other firearms-related equipment. This was an exemption-based direct award due to the specific and urgent needs of the police force. The procurement, classified under CPV code 18444110 for helmets, with additional classifications under emergency and security equipment, and police equipment, concluded on 14th October 2024, with the contract awarded on 15th October 2024. The contract, valued at £55,000, will run from 1st January 2025 to 31st March 2026. The goods will be delivered to the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of emergency and security equipment, particularly those specialising in police gear such as helmets and holsters. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes, as demonstrated by the awarding of this contract to Point South Ltd, a small to medium enterprise. The use of an exemption-based procurement method underscores the importance of having reliable suppliers capable of meeting short-notice requirements, providing a valuable niche for businesses with flexible and efficient production capabilities.
