## Summary

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority has awarded a contract titled "Purchase of Round, Intermediate and Long shields" to provide shields for South Yorkshire Police's Operational Support Unit. The project falls under the industry category of protective gear within the location of South Yorkshire, specifically in Sheffield. The procurement process, which occurred without competitive tendering under a "below threshold" direct procurement method, was officially concluded with the contract status marked as complete. The procurement followed legal guidelines set by UK legislation 2023/54, and the contract award took effect from 12th May 2026, with an end date of 11th May 2027.

This procurement process offers business growth opportunities primarily for suppliers of protective equipment, especially SMEs like Chiltern Global Limited, which successfully secured this contract. Suppliers with expertise in producing or distributing public order gear could find promising prospects in similar contracts, given the unique requirements for specialised equipment by public authorities such as police forces. The absence of competition in this tender highlights the strategic advantage for businesses with an established track-record or previous connections in providing niche equipment within the public safety sector in the UK.
