Summary of the contracting process

British Transport Police bought 1,200 SC2 Series high-capacity, high-retention battery packs for TETRA Airwave terminals. This is a supply contract for specialist police communications equipment, intended to support the use of Airwave radio terminals. Delivery is associated with British Transport Police in London. The requirement was placed through the TETRA Airwave Terminal Products and Services framework, so the purchase was a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. The stated procurement category is goods, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The equipment specification identifies the SC2 Series and its high-capacity, high-retention characteristics, making this most relevant to suppliers able to provide compatible battery packs for the specified terminal platform.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SEPURA LIMITED. British Transport Police selected the supplier on 7 September 2026, following a selective framework call-off under the TETRA Airwave Terminal Products and Services agreement. The award value is £40,860. The contract period runs from 8 September to 7 October 2026. The initial estimated procurement value was also £40,860, and the submission deadline was 7 September 2026. The purchase was stated as 1,200 battery packs. The published procurement data does not set out a scored evaluation formula or additional eligibility requirements; the award is recorded against the framework route. The process was marked suitable for SMEs, while the work itself concerns supply of a defined model of communications battery rather than a broader equipment or service package.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from British Transport Police, this award demonstrates demand for replacement batteries compatible with SC2 Series TETRA Airwave terminals, bought through the established TETRA Airwave Terminal Products and Services framework. Credibility is likely to depend on being able to supply the precise compatible model and meet the specified high-capacity, high-retention requirement, as well as demonstrating reliable fulfilment of a sizeable, uniform order. The selected supplier, SEPURA LIMITED, is a large business, but the purchase was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers may also be relevant where they can provide the required products through the framework route. Businesses focused on unrelated police equipment, general battery supply without terminal compatibility, or services rather than goods are less closely aligned with this requirement.
