Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured a voluntary satellite tagging device and monitoring system for police forces across Yorkshire and the Humber. The supplier must provide wearable satellite tracking devices, associated equipment such as on-body chargers, and a system that supports safe, comfortable and durable fitting. The service includes software for monitoring, alerts, data transfer, reporting, analytics and device configuration. Delivery covers West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Humberside and Cleveland, serving West Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Humberside and Cleveland policing organisations. The procurement is primarily a police equipment and satellite positioning service requirement, with expected usage allocated by force according to local demand.

The procurement is complete and was run as an above-threshold open procedure using a competitive flexible process with an invitation-to-tender stage followed by a preferred-supplier stage. The award date was 21 July 2026, with BUDDI LIMITED selected for each force: West Yorkshire £356,400 gross; South Yorkshire £285,120 gross; North Yorkshire £285,120 gross; Humberside £570,240 gross; and Cleveland £213,840 gross. Each contract is due to run from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, with discretion for two 12-month renewals, allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2032. Evaluation was split equally between quality and price. Fifteen bids were received, with five reaching the final stage.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for end-to-end electronic monitoring rather than devices alone. Suppliers competing for comparable police requirements would need dependable satellite tracking hardware, wearable equipment and charging solutions, together with secure software for live monitoring, alert management, data transfer, reporting, analytics and remote configuration. The solution must support safe, comfortable and durable use by wearers and operate across several police forces with differing local demand. Credible competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate scalable supply, robust technical integration, reliable operational support and experience delivering monitoring systems in a policing or similarly sensitive public-service environment. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that specialist providers can compete where they can evidence quality, capacity and value.
