Summary of the contracting process

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has completed a procurement process to acquire Conducted Energy Devices, classified under the industry category of police equipment. This award was made through a direct approach within the Home Office framework C23688, specifically for supplying Conducted Energy Devices and associated consumables to regions across the UK. The procurement method used was limited, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition due to the framework agreement that recognises Axon Public Safety UK Ltd as the sole supplier. The contract, valued at £2,230,460.88, was signed on 1st July 2026, marking the award stage of this process.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the police and safety equipment sector, particularly those looking to engage with public safety authorities. Given that Axon Public Safety UK Ltd is currently the only authorised supplier in this niche market under the Home Office framework, smaller businesses looking to grow could identify partnership opportunities or aspire to expand their qualifications to compete in future tenders. Involvement in such consolidated supply frameworks can provide consistent revenue streams and enhance business reputations within the public procurement landscape.
