UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

First Trenitalia West Coast Rail Limited intends to procure a strategic body-worn cameras service for use across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers body-worn camera hardware, related support and associated services, including the software and computer systems needed to operate the service. It is intended to replace an end-of-life estate and address colleague-safety and capability concerns. The procurement is categorised as a service and includes security cameras, cameras, hardware, industry-specific software and investigation and security services. This is relevant to suppliers able to provide an integrated body-worn video solution rather than cameras alone, including operational support and associated technology services for a rail environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The expected route is a call-off under the Transport Technology Framework RM6347, Lot 5, covering enforcement, security, compliance and emergency-service technologies and services. Participation is restricted to the 42 suppliers in that framework lot who meet PA20323 compliance requirements. The buyer expects to send formal invitations for Stage 1 conditions for participation by 25 August 2026, followed by an invitation to tender for suppliers passing Stage 1 and then tender presentations. The estimated value is £1,300,000 excluding VAT (£1,560,000 including VAT). The intended contract period is 5 December 2026 to 5 December 2029, with renewal possible until 5 December 2031.

This will suit an established security-technology supplier with the capacity to deliver body-worn cameras, supporting hardware, software systems and continuing service support across the United Kingdom. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate capability in security, enforcement, compliance or emergency-service technology, with experience integrating equipment and operational services rather than supplying standalone devices. The buyer is seeking a strategic replacement for an end-of-life estate, motivated by colleague safety and identified capability gaps, so reliability, user support and a practical transition from the incumbent solution are likely to matter. Competition is limited to suppliers already eligible under Transport Technology Framework RM6347 Lot 5 and able to satisfy the stated PA20323 compliance requirements. Interested framework suppliers should prepare for conditions-of-participation assessment, a written tender and bidder presentations.
