Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Metro Borough Council procured a community safety lone-working and body-worn camera system for its Community Safety and Enforcement staff. The requirement covers software and information systems, including the technology needed to support staff working alone and using bodycams in their duties. It is classified as a goods purchase. Delivery is in Walsall, at the council’s Civic Centre area. The buyer is Walsall Metro Borough Council. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of lone-worker protection platforms, body-worn camera systems, associated software and information systems, and providers able to support their use by public-sector community safety and enforcement teams.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 12:00. The award date was 3 June 2026. Orbis Protect Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £56,134.08. The tender’s estimated value was £67,360.90. The tender contract period was 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2029. The award records show one period ending 7 June 2029 and another ending 7 June 2030. The award was active, and the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Walsall Metro Borough Council for an integrated lone-working and body-worn camera system supporting community safety and enforcement staff. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would combine dependable lone-worker safety functionality with bodycam hardware, secure information systems and operational support. Credible competitors should be able to show that their technology works for staff operating in the field, supports the practical use of body-worn cameras and can be implemented for a council service. Experience supplying public-sector or enforcement environments, managing users and devices, and providing ongoing technical and service support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller technology providers could be relevant.
