## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has concluded a procurement process for the provision of body armour to the Ministry of Defence Police, with the contracting phase now complete as of 25th September 2025. This procurement, categorised under the 'goods' industry for special clothing, specifically tailored to 'UKM82' region (Glasgow, UK), has been executed through a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold and without competition. The contract was awarded to SAFARILAND UK, a large supplier based in Warrington, on 12th September 2025. The contract is valued at £115,564.74 with an additional gross amount of £138,677.69, and it spans from 12th September to 31st December 2025. The legal basis for the procurement follows the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in the production and supply of special clothing, specifically those capable of providing body armour. Businesses that are well-established in the defence supply chain or have experience with central government contracts would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. The interim supply contract not only reinforces SAFARILAND UK's standing within the sector but also highlights the ongoing demand for specialised PPE solutions, presenting potential collaborative or competitive opportunities for similar organisations looking to expand their service offerings to government entities.
