## Summary

Sussex Police bought 408 standard round transparent polycarbonate riot shields, each 660 mm in diameter and 4 mm thick, including carriage and packaging. This is a supply of police protective equipment, rather than a uniform supply. The purchase was described as a one-off requirement under a framework agreement. Delivery is associated with Lewes, East Sussex. The requirement is for suppliers able to source or manufacture transparent riot shields to the stated dimensions and material specification, and arrange their packaging and delivery to the police buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award call-off from the YPO 001204 framework. The award was made to Civil Defence Supply on 19 August 2026. The awarded value was £37,638.83. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 21 August 2027. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. This was a single, one-off purchase rather than a set of lots. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award shows Sussex Police purchasing a defined batch of riot shields through an established framework, with carriage and packaging included. Suppliers aiming to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer should be able to provide transparent polycarbonate shields meeting precise diameter and thickness specifications, and reliably fulfil a bulk order with delivery and packaging handled as part of the supply. Experience supplying police or other public-sector protective equipment and the ability to meet framework call-off requirements would be relevant capabilities. The purchase was awarded to Civil Defence Supply, demonstrating that a specialist supplier can win this type of requirement through the framework route. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that businesses of that size may be credible competitors for a similar purchase.
