DHL is to design, procure and deliver uniforms and equipment for the Metropolitan Police Service in a seven-year, end-to-end supply chain contract.
DHL said that under the new contract, which will see the company ‘deliver a National Uniform Managed Service’ (NUMS), it would provide ‘similar opportunities’ for other UK public sector bodies.
A DHL spokesperson said: “DHL has been selected as the overarching operational partner for NUMS, as our logistics and procurement expertise allows us to manage the supply chain end-to-end for ultimate efficiency. The contract also required very specific expertise, in the form of design. As such we brought in a uniform design specialist who has previously designed for major brands and major international sporting events. Acquiring specialist expertise is something we have done extremely effectively in the past for contracts as significant as NHS Supply Chain, to offer the very best bespoke service.”
