UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex involves a tender titled "Drone Live Transmission," categorized under services, particularly in telecommunications and security systems. This process aims to provide drone video live transmission for both Sussex and Surrey police forces. The contract is managed from Lewes, UK, and was an open competitive flexible procedure. Key dates include the tender period ending on 24th April 2026, and the contract period commencing on 15th September 2026, with potential extensions. However, the procurement was ultimately cancelled due to no suppliers meeting the mandatory criteria required by the specifications.

Despite its cancellation, the initial opportunity highlighted potential growth avenues for businesses in the communications and security technology sectors. Companies specializing in surveillance systems, broadcast transmission, and digital mapping services would find such contracts relevant. Future tenders of this nature can provide competitive advantage and business expansion for firms that can align their solutions with cutting-edge technological and operational demands of security forces.
