Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority bought voluntary electronic monitoring tags for use in policing. West Yorkshire Police acted as the tendering organisation on behalf of South Yorkshire Police. The requirement is categorised as goods and involves electrical equipment and apparatus. Delivery covers Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement concerns the supply of tags rather than construction or consultancy services, making it relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of electronic monitoring or related police equipment. Businesses with experience supplying public authorities, police forces or other organisations requiring dependable electronic tracking equipment should regard this as evidence of a defined requirement from South Yorkshire’s public sector and policing organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to BUDDI LIMITED. One lot was completed, with an awarded contract value of £126,315.79 excluding VAT and £151,578.95 including VAT. The contract was signed and began on 4 August 2026, ending on 31 July 2030. It includes two 12-month extension options, allowing a maximum end date of 31 July 2032. The procurement was run as a below-threshold procedure; the specific method is recorded as unknown. The award is active and the contract is active. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is the buyer, while West Yorkshire Police managed the tendering process.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for voluntary electronic monitoring tags within Yorkshire and the Humber, with a police organisation managing the procurement for another public authority. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable electrical monitoring equipment suited to operational policing, demonstrate the capacity to fulfil a region-wide requirement, and manage delivery over a substantial contract term. Relevant experience with police forces, public authorities or comparable monitoring programmes would strengthen a supplier’s position. Manufacturers, specialist technology providers and established distributors may all be relevant, provided they can show dependable products, robust supply arrangements and the operational understanding needed for electronic monitoring equipment.
