Overview

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to Safariland UK Ltd for the provision of body armour to Armed Firearms Officers within the Ministry of Defence Police, with a contract value of £1,702,045.94. The contract, awarded on 24 February 2026 under direct award provisions due to unique technical reasons, supplies certified HO3 protection level body armour including P44 and P07 lightweight plates, hard plates, plate carriers, and ancillaries as an integrated system. The award was made as a single-supplier procurement because no other providers offer compatible components capable of maintaining the required HO3 certification for the complete system without necessitating replacement of existing certified carriers and ancillaries.
