UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited, headquartered in Solihull, has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of dash cameras through a direct award to Samsara Networks Ltd. This contract, titled "Dash Cameras," falls under the industry categories of transport equipment and software packages and is valued at £990,720. The procurement method was a direct award, justified by the unique features of Samsara's technology and its endorsement by Platform's fleet insurers. The award date was 30th June 2026, with a contract period starting on 1st August 2026 and potentially extending until July 2031, subject to two one-year extensions. The goods will be delivered across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, and UKG.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in transport technology and software integration, particularly those specialising in innovative safety and data solutions. Companies offering advanced vehicle equipment with unique safety features can find similar procurement opportunities lucrative and should consider partnerships or development of proprietary technologies to meet specific fleet requirements. Large-scale enterprises like Samsara Networks Ltd, which utilise patented technology for accident prevention and driver improvement, are well-positioned to meet such niche requirements and benefit from the associated fleet insurance cost savings.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Dash Cameras

Notice Description

Our requirement is for Dash Cameras that offers a very impressive solution, lots of data provided, and fully integrated solution that includes line manager avatar option for escalations, but ultimately a system has its own internal self coaching function and aftersales support. All of the main competitors' products were evaluated against the needs of Platform's fleet requirements and were not suitable on both quality and price. The salient points of the justification are as follows: * * the Samsara solution offers patented/unique technology linked to accident prevention and driver improvement * it is the only dash cam system endorsed by our Fleet insurers * adoption of the solution delivers a PS20k fleet insurance saving * market research and pricing have been checked and validated * the available Commercial Services Group framework option appears materially less advantageous. We will therefore be awarding a contract to Samsara Inc for a three (+1 + 1) at the price of PS330,240 per annum
