Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service has awarded a contract for the purchase of tasers and associated consumables to AXON PUBLIC SAFETY UK LTD. The procurement process was conducted using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract worth £29,050,000 was signed on 20th March 2024. The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive due to having only one supplier authorised to supply such devices in the UK.

This tender presents business opportunities for suppliers in the police equipment industry. Companies specialising in goods related to police equipment, particularly tasers and associated consumables, would be well-suited to compete. The Metropolitan Police Service, as the buying organisation, awarded the contract to AXON PUBLIC SAFETY UK LTD, providing a clear indication of the type of suppliers sought for similar future opportunities in this sector.
