Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria involves the supply of a wireless controlled target and equipment system, replacing the outdated portable shield target basis. The category of the procurement is electrical machinery and consumables within the goods sector. The process is located in Penrith, Cumbria, under the region UKD12, with Militec Ltd from Mid Glamorgan, UKL15 serving as the supplier. The procurement method was direct, due to below-threshold criteria, and the contract was signed on 16th July 2025, active until 16th August 2025. This tender falls under the legal basis outlined by UKPGA 2023/54 for public procurement by sub-central government authorities.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for SMEs involved in the manufacturing or supplying of wireless control systems and electrical equipment. Given that Militec Ltd is identified as an SME, similar businesses operating in the electrical equipment sector, especially those offering innovative solutions, will find such contracts beneficial to expand their client base within the public sector. The direct procurement method, which bypassed competitive bidding due to the contract’s valuation being below threshold, highlights the importance of strategic positioning to capture non-competitive tenders. This contract underscores the demand for modernised operational equipment in law enforcement and emergency services, offering promising avenues for businesses focusing on advanced technological integration.
