National Uniform Provision

The Metropolitan Police Service are looking to stimulate interest, information and views of the market to deliver its next generation uniform provision which will replace the national contract for a fully managed service for uniform and equipment on 1st April 2026. The contracting authority is looking to host an 'in-person' Supplier Day at a central London location on Wednesday 25th October 2023. The existing contract, which was a first-generation outsourcing will have been in place for 10 years. The Authority is looking for early market engagement to aid identification of opportunities and gauge market interest in this field This prior information notice is looking at supplier services to supply force specific/identifiable uniform and equipment, which is open to Police Forces and organisations within the United Kingdom. The Authority is seeking market information from suppliers capable of delivering and managing the procurement and uninterrupted supply of a wide range of diverse uniform and equipment products. At the moment the MPS has over 550 product lines covering 50 different roles for over 47,000 police officers and staff, with an expectation that this will increase which will support our officers and staff by providing them with the right kit and equipment to do their job. We have a large variety of specialist and unique requirements of uniform currently purchased by other arrangements, which we could look in to bring into this contract, and we would be interested to know how the supply chain may be able to deliver this.
