## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent has concluded the procurement process for the supply of utility vests, a tender classified under the safety vests category. The procurement utilised a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract was awarded to MC Products UK Limited, a large-scale supplier. The process, covering the South East region of the United Kingdom, has reached the award stage as of 10th July 2026, with a contract value of £72,000. The contractual period for this agreement spans from 20th July 2026 to 21st September 2029.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying safety apparel, particularly those capable of serving large-scale contracts. Companies that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are indicated as suitable, could benefit from similar opportunities when call-offs are made under framework agreements. Engaging in contracts such as these allows businesses to establish relationships with public sector clients like the police, potentially leading to further procurement opportunities in the safety equipment sector.
