Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, managed by the Hertfordshire Constabulary, involves the acquisition of Samsung smartphones for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire & Hertfordshire Constabularies. The tender falls under the industry category of mobile telephones, with CPV code 32250000. The project is located in the East of England, United Kingdom, and has advanced to the 'Award' stage as of 6th March 2026. The procurement method adopted was 'selective', specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 13th December 2025, and the awarded contract is scheduled to commence on 17th March 2026 and terminate on 16th March 2029, valued at £726,782.62.

This tender offers an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in mobile communication technology, particularly those with expertise in supplying police and law enforcement agencies. The framework agreement model used in this procurement suggests a beneficial arrangement for businesses capable of fulfilling pre-agreed terms efficiently. While the suitability criteria did not focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), it remains an attractive contract for established suppliers with capacity in similar large-scale and government-focused projects like VMO2B, the selected supplier. Such companies can leverage this contract to expand their footprint in the public sector market.
