This contract, titled "Encryption and supply of pagers and associated peripherals", falls under the goods category with a CPV code classification of Radio pagers. The procurement method was limited, proceeding without prior publication of a call for competition, and it was conducted under the CCS RM6116 framework established under PCR2015. The contract was awarded to PageOne Communications Limited T/A Critico, with contracts titled "Supply of pagers with associated peripherals" and "Encryption of pagers" both signed on 26 February 2025.

Companies that can offer competitive pricing, advanced encryption technologies, and flexible supply solutions are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Regional suppliers who can meet the delivery requirements in the North West of England, particularly around Preston, may have strategic advantages due to their proximity to the contracting authority's location.
