Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime procured a Crime-Lite laser kit comprising blue and green lasers, identified as the QCL/LASER/BLUE-GREENKIT requirement. This is a specialist goods supply for policing and crime-related use, rather than a general laser or installation service. The procurement covers laser equipment supplied to the buyer in the United Kingdom, with the award record indicating delivery nationally. The requirement was arranged as a single completed lot. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are manufacturers, authorised distributors or specialist suppliers of forensic, investigative or policing laser equipment, particularly products designed for controlled operational use and compatible with the buyer’s specified Crime-Lite requirement. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in London.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Foster & Freeman Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown, and was evaluated as a goods purchase. The contract was signed on 14 May 2025 and ran from 14 May 2025 to 13 June 2025. Its value was £38,064.27 excluding VAT, or £45,677.12 including VAT. The award covered the single lot for the blue and green Crime-Lite laser kit. The supplier’s award is active and the contract is active. The stated classification is CPV 38636100, lasers. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. No cancellation or termination is recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime for specialist blue and green laser equipment within a Crime-Lite context. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to supply the specified laser kit or an equivalent specialist product, understand the operational needs of policing and crime investigation, and provide reliable equipment through an established supply and support capability. Relevant strengths would include direct manufacturing expertise, authorised distribution rights, product knowledge, quality assurance and the ability to fulfil a focused equipment order for a public-sector customer. Suppliers should also be able to describe how their products meet the required specification, support safe professional use and provide dependable after-sales assistance.
