UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police initiated a tender for the provision of Radio Frequency Survey Equipment, classified under the electronic equipment industry category. Located in London, the contract had an initial procurement method described as "below threshold - open competition," and it targeted a broad range of suppliers with its open procurement stage. The tender, identified as BTPCON946, commenced with the tender notice published on 13th May 2025, and submissions were accepted until 16th June 2025. Despite completing the planning and tender stages, the process concluded with a cancellation on 17th July 2025, as none of the bids met the requirements laid out in the specifications.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture or supply of electronic survey equipment, with an anticipation of repeat procurement requirements owing to its cancellation. Firms well-versed in open tenders with capabilities to meet precise technical specifications could have leveraged this opportunity to secure a potentially long-term contract. With a total estimated contract value of £72,000 gross (£60,000 excluding VAT), the tender offered growth potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering quality alongside competitive pricing.
