Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured body-worn video and digital evidence management solutions for Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service. The requirement covers the supply, licensing and support of Axon body-worn video equipment and associated digital evidence software and services. It is a goods procurement concerning video-surveillance systems (CPV 32323500), with delivery associated with Staffordshire and the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the Bluelight Commercial Framework’s national provision for body-worn video, related products and software, and in-vehicle video products and software. The buyer is based at Staffordshire Police HQ in Stafford. The selected supplier’s offering is centred on an integrated hardware, licensing, support and digital evidence-management service rather than equipment supply alone.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Bluelight Commercial Framework, Lot 1. The award decision was made on 1 July 2026 to Axon Public Safety UK Ltd, for £67,016.31 excluding any applicable additions stated in the contract. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:24. The published requirement identifies the contract as a framework call-off for the supply and support of body-worn video and digital evidence management solutions. Axon Public Safety UK Ltd is the active awarded supplier. The opportunity was evaluated within the framework’s established competition route; the release does not provide separate price or quality weightings.

For suppliers monitoring Staffordshire’s public-safety technology demand, this award demonstrates a requirement for an end-to-end body-worn video service: equipment, software licensing, digital evidence management, technical support and associated services. A credible competitor would need to provide interoperable body-worn video technology, secure handling and management of digital evidence, dependable support arrangements and the operational capacity to serve a fire and rescue organisation. Experience in public-safety, emergency-service or similarly governed environments would strengthen a future proposition, particularly where evidence integrity, access controls, retention and auditability matter. The procurement was made through a national Bluelight framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand framework-based call-off competition and maintain a compliant offering across both hardware and software. The incumbent is a large specialist public-safety technology supplier.
