Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority, involved the "A07 Refresh of Hardware" project focused on refreshment of hardware for a Command and Control vehicle. Classified under the industry category of audio-visual equipment, this contract pertains to the goods sector. The procurement took place in the UK region, specifically Tyne and Wear, under the limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The process was finalised with an award to Pacific Computer Ltd on 26th June 2026, with the contract valued at £37,991.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in hardware solutions, particularly those with expertise in audio-visual equipment for command and control systems. Companies similar to Pacific Computer Ltd, which was the successful bidder, would find such tenders conducive to expanding their market presence in the public sector. Business growth can be leveraged by those experienced in fulfilling technical requirements for public safety entities such as fire and rescue services. The nature of the limited procurement process also suggests that companies with existing framework agreements, like the Procurement Services framework Y24003, will be at an advantageous position to compete effectively.
