UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority is in the planning stage of procuring a comprehensive solution for Body Worn Cameras aimed at enhancing their operations in various capacities such as incident recording, training delivery, and fire prevention support. The procurement process involves a market engagement set to conclude by mid-December 2025, where potential suppliers are invited to demonstrate capabilities that include data security, cloud storage, and durability of camera equipment. The procurement is focused on identifying the latest technology across nine UK regions, including UKK, to replace the current on-premise systems with a cloud-based solution. The estimated contract value stands at £240,000 with an anticipated contract period from September 2026 to August 2029.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cutting-edge camera technology, data security, and cloud infrastructure, especially those with expertise in providing durable equipment suitable for harsh environments. Companies that can offer comprehensive solutions including hardware, software integration, and ongoing maintenance and support services, and those that can demonstrate capabilities through online presentations, will find this to be a lucrative opportunity for growth and partnership with a public authority like the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service. Such involvement could foster long-term collaborations, especially for firms capable of aligning with the strategic objectives of the Service to innovate and leverage advanced technologies.
