Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured telematics hardware and software for fleet management, including associated repair and maintenance services. The requirement is classified under CPV 50111000 and concerns goods rather than construction or general consultancy. Delivery is associated with the Commissioner’s operation in Wellingborough, in the East Midlands, at the Darby House site on Darby Close, Park Farm Industrial Estate. The procurement is relevant to businesses supplying vehicle-tracking, fleet-monitoring or related telematics equipment and software, particularly where these products support the management and maintenance of an operational public-sector fleet. The stated scope is concise, so businesses would need to examine the underlying technical requirements to determine the precise hardware, software and service interfaces involved.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed at noon on 6 July 2026. The estimated value range was £255,900 to £426,500, and the award value was £426,500. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2029. The contract was awarded on 13 August 2026 to UK TELEMATICS. LTD. Two published award entries identify the same supplier, value and contract period, so they represent the same outcome rather than separate awards. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award basis and detailed selection requirements are contained in the procurement materials.

For competitors, this award demonstrates established demand from Northamptonshire’s policing and fire governance buyer for a substantial, multi-year fleet-telematics requirement procured through a framework call-off. A credible future supplier would need to provide dependable telematics hardware and software suitable for operational fleet management, with the ability to support deployment across the buyer’s vehicles and maintain a service over the contract’s full scale. The classification also points to fleet repair and maintenance capability, so businesses offering only standalone tracking devices may be less well placed than suppliers able to combine equipment, software and ongoing fleet support. The buyer’s decision to mark the requirement unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that future competitors should be able to demonstrate organisational capacity, delivery resilience and experience handling sizeable public-sector fleet technology programmes.
