Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service has recently awarded a contract for Drone Infrastructure Works at various sites in London, focusing on construction work. This procurement, with a total value of £500,000, falls under the industry category of works and employs a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with the award being finalised on 15th September 2025 and published on 18th September 2025. The contract period spans from 17th September 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction, particularly those familiar with drone infrastructure projects. Given its selective procurement method, companies already part of the relevant framework agreement or consortiums would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The suitability for SMEs encourages smaller enterprises to engage, promoting diverse business growth opportunities in London's bustling infrastructure sector. Large enterprises with experience in public sector projects could also see considerable prospects given the project's scale and the collaboration with an established buyer like the Metropolitan Police Service.
