## Summary

The procurement process led by the Scottish Police Authority, located in Glasgow, involved multiple stages culminating in the award of several contracts related to fire-resistant (FR) clothing. The most recent and completed procurement was for "FR Tops & FR Trousers" under the industry category "Special clothing and accessories" (CPV 18400000). Although the tender process closed without suitable bids for these items from the open procedure initiated on 13th March 2025, an award was made through a limited procedure to Viking Arms Ltd. The procurement stage has been completed, and the contract for £301,000 was signed on 25th June 2025, delivering to the UKM region, without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing specialised protective clothing, as the demand from public bodies such as the Scottish Police Authority signifies a stable and recurring market. Companies that can offer high-quality products with competitive pricing are well-positioned to benefit. The open and limited procurement methods showcase a mix of competition and direct awards, allowing a range of suppliers, including SMEs like Viking Arms Ltd, an entry point into public sector contracts. This opens avenues for smaller companies to strengthen their portfolios with robust public sector partnerships and expand their business reach within the UK market.
