Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited procured body-worn cameras and the associated equipment, software, licences and support needed for their operation. The requirement covers 393 Reveal R1 cameras, together with technical support, warranties and ongoing supplier services. The cameras are intended for use by Midland Heart employees at its properties and housing schemes, improving personal safety, creating accurate records of incidents, gathering evidence where required and supporting effective incident management. This is a goods requirement for security camera equipment and related support. Delivery and performance cover Midland Heart properties and schemes across the English regions represented in the procurement, rather than a single named site. The selected supplier, Reveal Media Limited, is a large UK-based specialist provider of the specified camera system.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, using the ESPO Security and Surveillance Equipment & Services framework (628_23). The requirement was evaluated on price. Reveal Media Limited received the active award for the requirement, and the contract was signed by Midland Heart Limited on 14 August 2026. The contract value is £300,603.98. One bid was recorded. The procurement rationale states that it fell outside the scope of the relevant directive and was conducted through the ESPO framework. The requirement was arranged as one lot, with no options. The recorded lot status is cancelled, while the award and contract are active, so the procurement outcome is the award and signed contract with Reveal Media Limited.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to supply and support the specified Reveal R1 body-worn camera system at organisational scale, including 393 devices and all associated equipment, software and licences. The procurement shows that Midland Heart values a complete operational package rather than cameras alone: technical support, warranty provision and continuing supplier services are part of the requirement. Relevant capability therefore includes reliable deployment across housing properties and schemes, maintaining equipment and software, supporting employees who use cameras during incidents, and helping the customer preserve usable evidence and manage incidents effectively. Suppliers should also understand how to compete through the ESPO Security and Surveillance Equipment & Services framework, since that was the route used for this purchase and the selected supplier was a specialist security-camera provider.
