Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority procured conducted energy devices (CEDs), associated equipment and consumables for public order and safety operations. The requirement covers police equipment supplied for use in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, based in Northallerton. The procurement was made through the Home Office’s national framework for conducted energy devices and associated equipment. The stated requirement concerns both the devices themselves and the consumable products needed to support their use. This is a goods contract rather than a works or service contract, so relevant suppliers are manufacturers, authorised distributors and established equipment providers with the ability to supply CEDs and related consumables in the UK. The selected supplier was Axon Public Safety UK Ltd.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure through a direct award under the Home Office framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The buyer’s justification was that Axon Public Safety UK Ltd was the sole supplier on the framework and the only supplier authorised to supply these devices in the UK. The contract was evaluated on price. The award date was 1 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. Axon Public Safety UK Ltd received the award for conducted energy devices and associated consumables. The contract value is £2,230,460.88 including the published currency of GBP. One bid was recorded. The associated lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This procurement demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for conducted energy devices and their supporting consumables from a regional authority responsible for public order and safety. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need lawful UK authorisation to supply CEDs, access to an appropriate national framework or another compliant public procurement route, and the operational capacity to provide both equipment and recurring consumables. Suppliers would also need dependable UK distribution, product availability and the ability to support a public safety customer with consistent supply. Experience serving police, combined authorities or other public order organisations would strengthen credibility, particularly where the requirement involves standardised equipment, controlled products and ongoing replenishment rather than a one-off delivery. The scale of this purchase indicates that suppliers must be able to fulfil a sizeable regional requirement.
