UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured virtual reality headsets for Northamptonshire Police. This is a goods requirement for supplying specialist immersive-technology hardware rather than a service, works or software implementation. The equipment falls within multimedia and audio-visual equipment categories. Delivery is associated with Northamptonshire, serving the police force’s operational requirements. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in Wellingborough. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist technology suppliers that provide virtual reality headsets and related multimedia or audio-visual equipment for policing or other public-sector users. Businesses focused only on consultancy, training, construction, general IT support or unrelated equipment are unlikely to find this procurement relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one completed lot. Learnpro Efire Service Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026, runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027, and has a gross value of £29,130. The contract is active. The award covered the supply of virtual reality headsets for Northamptonshire Police, classified as multimedia and audio-visual equipment. The recorded route indicates that suppliers were not invited to compete in an open tender for this requirement. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s procurement route, contract scale and expected delivery period for this specific equipment need.

This procurement is commercially relevant to suppliers with an established capability to source, manufacture, distribute or integrate virtual reality headsets and associated audio-visual equipment. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate reliable access to suitable hardware, dependable fulfilment and the ability to supply a public-sector police customer. Experience delivering immersive or multimedia equipment to organisations with operational, training or specialist-use requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be able to manage product specifications, compatibility, warranty and after-sales support at the scale of a single equipment order, while meeting public-sector purchasing and invoicing requirements. The selected supplier’s profile shows that a large specialist provider can meet this type of requirement through a direct, below-threshold route.
