UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured 14 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) Harrier cameras for capital replacement and upgrade of its existing camera estate. The requirement was for like-for-like replacement, rather than a new ANPR platform. The equipment supports traffic monitoring and policing operations, while maintaining consistency with the established ANPR network, staff knowledge, maintenance processes and supplier support arrangements. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for operational use associated with Durham and Darlington. This is primarily a camera supply requirement, with an associated traffic monitoring services classification. It will suit suppliers of ANPR or specialist traffic-monitoring camera equipment familiar with established policing networks and replacement programmes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective below-threshold route under a framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to QRO Solutions Limited, an SME, on 1 September 2026, and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £53,214 excluding VAT, or £63,856 including VAT. The selected supplier is providing the 14 cameras. The procurement was for goods, classified as cameras and traffic monitoring services. The award was made on the basis of the framework award route; the available procurement record does not set out separate scoring criteria or a comparative tender evaluation.

This award shows established demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham for replacement ANPR cameras that integrate with an existing operational network rather than introduce a new platform. A credible future supplier would need to provide Harrier cameras or demonstrably equivalent equipment suitable for like-for-like replacement, understand ANPR deployment in policing environments, and support NASPLE compliance and operational requirements. Experience of reliable traffic-monitoring equipment, estate-wide consistency and continuity of maintenance processes would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to work with existing staff knowledge and support arrangements, and demonstrate acceptance or approval for use by Durham County Council and Darlington Borough Council. The requirement is a focused specialist equipment opportunity, not a general surveillance technology platform.
