Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Bulk Purchase of Tablets for Operational Teams" was undertaken by the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex. This contract falls under the industry category of miscellaneous equipment with a focus on goods, specifically the procurement of 36 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro tablets. The procurement was enacted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified under the directive's scope exceptions. The process concluded with the award stage as of 24th November 2025, with the contract valued at £53,892.57. Delivery addresses span multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the technology and electronics supply sectors, particularly those capable of handling bulk orders for sophisticated equipment like tablets. Given the requirements for ruggedised tablets, companies specialising in durable electronic devices or with experience in public procurement contracts would be well-suited to compete in future opportunities like this. Large-scale suppliers with the capability to fulfil substantial orders swiftly and within the public sector framework, such as the awarded supplier Softcat, can leverage such contracts to enhance their market presence and build a strong portfolio in government contracts.
