## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Life Jacket Servicing," which involves the maintenance of lifejackets within operational police vehicles in Scotland, specifically the UKM region. This contract was awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication, under the direct award framework for emergency response and water rescue equipment. IONIC Rescue Ltd, a small to medium enterprise, was awarded the contract, valued at £159,600 and signed on 26th February 2026. The process is in the award stage as of 19th March 2026, and the procurement falls outside the scope of the directive.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety equipment maintenance or those with experience in servicing life-saving gear. Companies well-versed in emergency response and rescue equipment servicing, especially SMEs, could leverage such contracts to expand their operations. The requirement for direct and efficient servicing aligns with firms capable of targeted, high-quality service delivery in the emergency and public safety sector. Thus, businesses with expertise in life jacket and related safety gear maintenance are well-placed to pursue similar opportunities for growth in public order and safety services.
