UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured airwave peripheral equipment for Northamptonshire Police. The requirement covers goods used with radio and communications networks, including peripheral equipment, radio network equipment and radio equipment. Delivery is within Northamptonshire and the surrounding Daventry area. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing, fire and crime services in Northamptonshire. The procurement is relevant to suppliers of communications hardware, radio systems, telecommunications equipment and associated peripheral devices able to support operational police communications. The requirement is focused on physical equipment rather than general telecommunications consultancy, software development or unrelated IT supplies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Axess International Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure without competition, with one completed lot. The award was made on 20 August 2026. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 17 October 2026 to 16 October 2028. It has an optional 12-month extension from 17 October 2028 to 16 October 2029, with the maximum contract period ending on 16 October 2029. The awarded contract value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The contract is active, and the award covers the full airwave peripherals requirement for Northamptonshire Police.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for police airwave peripheral and radio-network equipment in Northamptonshire. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be businesses that provide dependable communications hardware, radio equipment and compatible peripherals for operational users. Credibility would come from understanding airwave-related environments, supplying equipment that integrates with established radio networks, and demonstrating reliable fulfilment for a public-sector customer. Relevant firms may include specialist radio communications distributors, network equipment suppliers and small or medium-sized technology businesses with access to suitable manufacturers and support arrangements. Experience of supplying critical communications equipment, managing compatibility requirements and maintaining consistent product availability would strengthen a competitor’s position.
