Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Walsall Metro Borough Council was for a project titled "W5101 - Community Safety Lone Working and Bodycams System." This project aimed to support Community Safety and Enforcement Staff in their duties through the implementation of a software package and information systems, classed under industry code 48000000. Operating from the Civic Centre in Walsall, England, the procurement used a selective method through a framework agreement, transitioning from the tender period that ended on 8th May 2026, into the award and contract stages. The contract commenced on 8th June 2026 and is set to run until 7th June 2030, with a total value of £67,360.90. The current status is marked as complete, with the award to Orbis Protect Limited confirmed on 3rd June 2026.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those focusing on public safety technology. As the procurement was conducted through a framework agreement, eligible businesses that already align with the council's frameworks had the opportunity to engage efficiently. The project is notably suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), even though it was ultimately awarded to Orbis Protect Limited, a large-scale company. Companies with innovative solutions in bodycam technology and lone worker safety systems stand to benefit from similar future contracts, facilitating business expansion and increasing market presence in public sector projects.
