Northumbria Police (the 'force') invites to participate in a request for information (RFI). This market engagement is focused on assessing Fire Retardant Hi-Vis Tabard offerings available to the force. The outcome of the RFI process will help us determine our procurement strategy moving forward. The force intends to procure an agreement for the provision of Fire Retardant Hi-Vis Tabards, to ensure officers are provided with the correct uniform/kit options to assist with operational requirements. Following the conclusion of the RFI process, the responses received will be reviewed to ascertain the best procurement route forward before proceeding through our internal governance process. Once we can provide an update on the next steps, any Supplier that has registered an interest will be contacted using the contact information provided in this document. Early internal stakeholder engagement has identified a requirement for 1000 Hi-vis Tabards, however this is an indicative number and may change once the tender opportunity is released. Please can all suppliers interested in this opportunity, send confirmation via email to: Joel.Gartland@northumbria.police.uk

| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | T-shirts and shirts, Special clothing and accessories, Police uniforms | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 18. The category anchor is T-shirts and shirts (18330000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 18 | 392 | 8 median · 62 average (131 of 392 with a bid count) | 4.7 average (140 of 392 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC | 10 | 4.5 median · 8.5 average (4 of 10 with a bid count) | 2.8 average (4 of 10 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
| Milestone | Type | Due | Status |
