Summary of the contracting process

Newry Mourne & Down District Council procured services to keep its town-centre CCTV network operating. The requirement covers annual rental of IR1000D digital line infrastructure and a transmission service for 20 CCTV cameras in Newry City, Warrenpoint and Kilkeel. It also includes additional digital line routes in Warrenpoint and Kilkeel. The service transmits camera data from each camera to a main collection point and then to the relevant monitoring centre. The procurement is for CCTV transmission and supporting digital fibre-optic communications infrastructure, rather than the supply or installation of cameras themselves. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the work covers the specified town-centre locations within its district.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS LIMITED, under a single-supplier and exclusive-rights rationale. The award date was 20 July 2026, for £71,614.90 excluding VAT (£85,937.09 including VAT), with an award period from 5 August 2026 to 22 July 2027. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and is active from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, at the same value. The procedure used a direct award because BT Redcare was identified as the sole provider of the existing digital fibre-optic cabling infrastructure supporting the council’s CCTV systems. The procurement had one completed lot and was below the applicable threshold.

This award shows a continuing requirement for managed digital communications infrastructure supporting public CCTV, including reliable fibre-optic links, camera-to-collection-point connectivity and onward transmission to monitoring centres. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide communications networks capable of carrying CCTV data continuously across Newry City, Warrenpoint and Kilkeel, including additional routes where needed. Relevant strengths would include ownership or control of suitable fibre infrastructure, established access to the required network routes, technical capability in CCTV transmission and the operational capacity to support 20 cameras across multiple town-centre sites. Experience of maintaining dependable public-sector communications services and integrating with existing monitoring arrangements would also be important, particularly where the buyer requires continuity rather than a new camera system.
