Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Essex Police involves the acquisition of Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs) and associated equipment, with a focus solely on the Essex region. The procurement falls under the industry category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts, specifically firearms and miscellaneous weapons. This contract, valued at £3,905,855.65 GBP, is part of a five-year plan starting from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. Currently in the award stage, the contract was concluded under a selective procurement method via a call-off from the Home Office framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 15 December 2025, with the award published on 17 December 2025. The delivery location identified is within the East of England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in weapons supply, particularly those equipped to provide long-term support and consumable products. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality conducted energy devices and associated equipment on a national framework basis would be well-suited to compete. Considering the significant investment and focused regional demand, it is ideal for large suppliers familiar with working alongside public safety organisations. However, the procurement process has been tailored to favour those engaged in call-off framework agreements, potentially limiting the suitability for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The engagement with Essex Police as the buying organisation ensures stable and secured business growth for the awarded supplier, Axon Public Safety UK Limited.
