Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust has initiated a procurement process for the supply of body-worn cameras, which includes associated accessories, licences, warranty, and evidence management software. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement scheduled to close on 1st July 2026. This procurement, targeted for central government public authority use, aims to thoroughly assess the market to develop a business case and refine specifications. The project is valued at up to £1,680,000 GBP and delivery will occur in the UK, specifically in London. The potential contract period is planned from 1st July 2027 to 30th June 2032, with future notifications about the procurement process expected by 1st September 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in technology or security equipment, particularly those specializing in surveillance and digital evidence management systems. Firms able to provide competitive and innovative solutions for body-worn camera systems will find this procurement process advantageous to enhance their portfolio and establish connections with public sector clients. SMEs with expertise in maintenance services, digital integration, and custom hardware solutions would especially benefit from this engagement, as the Trust seeks solutions that are both technically sophisticated and reliable for use in critical emergency service environments. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage with the preliminary market engagement to influence and tailor the future tender to align with industry capabilities.
