Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to procure GPS Tracking Devices for vehicle pursuits, classified under police equipment, within the United Kingdom, particularly covering all of Scotland. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, having commenced earlier as an open procedure, showcasing transparency and inclusivity. The initial procurement announcement was made on 15th November 2024, with a submission deadline of 23rd December 2024. The award was finalised with GMK Limited, with the contract signed on 6th March 2025, valued at £450,000. This contract reflects a complete status despite the cancellation of some lots.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply and installation of technical equipment as part of police operations. Companies providing high-quality technology solutions, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited to compete in such public sector tenders. The open procedure indicates an inclusive contracting approach, promoting fair competition and possibly fostering long-term partnerships with public authorities like the Scottish Police Authority. Businesses that equip law enforcement agencies with innovative tracking solutions stand to gain both financially and through a bolstered reputation in public service support.
