UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Borough Council procured the supply of specialist closed-circuit television equipment, specifically security cameras and associated CCTV equipment. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or service contract. The equipment is for delivery and use in Blackpool. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement covered one completed requirement. The scope is relevant to businesses that manufacture, distribute, integrate or supply specialist CCTV and security-camera equipment for public-sector sites. The requirement concerns physical equipment supply, so suppliers whose main offer is unrelated consultancy, general electrical work or non-security technology are less closely aligned. The selected supplier was an SME specialising in this type of security solution, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a focused specialist supplier rather than being limited to a large national contractor.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Blackpool Borough Council selected CHARLIE THOMAS ELECTRICAL LTD for the CCTV equipment requirement. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 22 September to 22 October 2026. Its value is £27,395.21 excluding VAT, or £32,874.25 including VAT. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The requirement was evaluated as a single lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The award covers security cameras under CPV 35125300. The available procurement information identifies the purchase as specialist CCTV equipment and a below-threshold opportunity; it does not set out further award weightings, technical selection thresholds or participation conditions. The named awarded supplier is CHARLIE THOMAS ELECTRICAL LTD.

For a future requirement from Blackpool Borough Council, credible competitors would need to supply specialist CCTV equipment and security cameras, understand the practical requirements of public-sector surveillance installations, and deliver equipment reliably within a short contract period. The award shows that a focused SME can win this type of council purchase, so smaller CCTV specialists, security-technology distributors and electrical businesses with a genuine CCTV equipment capability may be well placed. Businesses should be able to demonstrate a dependable supply chain, suitable product knowledge and the capacity to fulfil a complete equipment requirement for a local authority. Experience supplying councils or other organisations with security-camera equipment would help establish credibility, particularly where the buyer needs confidence in compatibility, reliability, delivery and support for operational CCTV systems.
