Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service procured body-worn cameras for use by its fire and rescue service. The requirement is for camera equipment, including digital camera and security-camera products (CPV 32234000), rather than a works or service contract. Delivery covers the areas served by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Borough Council, Dorset Council, Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire Council, with the delivery address recorded in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The procurement was conducted by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, whose operational area spans Dorset, Wiltshire, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and Swindon. The equipment is intended to support operational activity across these local authority areas.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure, using a further competition under the GCA Transport Technology Framework RM6347, Lot 5. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Reveal Media Limited on 14 August 2026 for £178,320.60 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. One active award is recorded, covering the body-worn camera requirement. The procurement was categorised as goods. Participation was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from a fire and rescue service for body-worn camera equipment serving several local authority areas. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need a credible range of operational body-worn cameras, digital camera equipment and related security-camera products, together with the capacity to supply and support a multi-area public service customer. The route used was a restricted further competition under GCA Transport Technology Framework RM6347, Lot 5, so relevant suppliers would need to understand and qualify for comparable framework-based purchasing routes. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the buyer was targeting suppliers with the scale and commercial capability to meet the requirement directly.
