Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to procure ballistic intelligence forensic equipment through a limited tendering process for the "Bulletrax upgrade." This procurement is located in Glasgow, United Kingdom, within the clinical forensics equipment and supplies industry category. The process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract signed on 5th February 2021, valued at £248,711. The procurement method was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the technical limitations of the required supplies.
