Summary of the contracting process

The Police And Crime Commissioner For Durham is overseeing a procurement process for the provision of Conducted Energy Devices under the title "Conducted Energy Devices", classified within the police equipment industry category. This procurement falls under the goods category and is being conducted in Durham, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the tender update stage, having been amended to extend the contract duration to 4th December 2030. This direct award is executed via the Home Office framework, justified by the existence of only one authorised supplier in the UK. Axon Public Safety UK Ltd, the sole supplier, has been awarded the contract valued at £1,000,000, which was signed on 4th December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within businesses that specialise in the provision of police equipment or services supportive of public safety. Given the specificity of the supply requirements and the direct award process, companies with established credentials in police and safety equipment would be well-suited to compete. Businesses capable of aligning with framework agreements and those interested in public safety innovation have the potential to engage in similar future contracts. The procurement method, which limits competition, underscores the importance of affiliation with public sector frameworks to access exclusive opportunities.
