Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process overseen by the Lancashire Combined Fire Authority involves the purchase of 53 body-worn cameras for use by firefighters. The procurement falls under the goods category with a focus on television and radio receivers, and sound or video recording/reproducing apparatus, classified under CPV code 32300000. The procurement utilised a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was deemed outside the scope of the directive. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 11th May 2026, and the supplier identified as Axon Public Safety UK Ltd. The main delivery regions include UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying video recording equipment, especially those with expertise in body-worn cameras for emergency services. Businesses with prior experience in limited procurement environments or those that can meet specific technological and cost requirements quickly may find this tender particularly beneficial. Given the local delivery across multiple UK regions and the active contract status, companies like Axon Public Safety UK Ltd, with a large operational scale, are well-suited to this type of contracting opportunity.
