Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police Authority procured body-worn video hardware and software, including digital camera equipment and the associated software needed to operate the service. The requirement covers supply across England, Wales and Scotland, reflecting the British Transport Police’s national operating footprint. The procurement was conducted through the Blue Light Commercial framework and concerned goods rather than construction or consultancy services. The named requirement was Body Worn Video, with the scope focused on supplying the equipment and software rather than describing wider support, maintenance or implementation services. The selected supplier was Axon Public Safety UK Limited, a large supplier based in Northamptonshire, whose business is focused on public safety technology.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was run as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a further competition under the Blue Light Commercial framework. Three bids were recorded for the requirement, and price was the stated award criterion. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 with Axon Public Safety UK Limited. Its value is £3,856,279.60. The procurement contained one lot for the supply of body-worn video hardware and software; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active. No contract duration or separate award date is provided in the published outcome.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates a substantial requirement for body-worn video hardware and software deployed across the British Transport Police’s national footprint. Credible competitors would need to provide an integrated equipment and software offering, with sufficient production, delivery and implementation capacity for a multi-region public-sector requirement. Experience in public safety technology or policing environments would help demonstrate understanding of operational use, although the published evaluation basis was price. Suppliers should also be able to compete through the relevant Blue Light Commercial framework route and present a commercially competitive offer against established specialist providers such as Axon Public Safety UK Limited.
