## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought softshell jackets for Northamptonshire Police, classified as police uniforms (CPV 35811200). This is a supply requirement for police clothing, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as one lot and awarded to a single supplier, Cooneen Defence Limited. The buyer is the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cooneen Defence Limited. It was a below-threshold call-off under a framework, using a selective route. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 11 October 2026 to 10 October 2029, with an option to extend for 12 months to 10 October 2030. The contract value is £32,000 excluding VAT (£38,400 including VAT). The buyer has no commitment to spend the full amount. The single lot is complete. The award record does not state evaluation criteria or how bids were assessed.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s future softshell jacket requirement, the award demonstrates demand for police uniform supply through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. A credible competitor would need to supply softshell jackets suitable for Northamptonshire Police and be able to fulfil orders under the relevant framework arrangements. The incumbent is Cooneen Defence Limited, a small or medium-sized supplier, showing that this requirement has been delivered by an SME. Suppliers should be prepared to support a multi-year contract with a possible extension and to meet the buyer’s uniform needs reliably. The procurement concerns police clothing specifically; experience in unrelated uniform or general clothing supply alone may not establish suitability.
