Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University bought body camera equipment for its university security guarding team. The goods are communications equipment, intended to support the team’s security work. Delivery was specified for Swansea and another location in Wales. The contract was awarded to Halo Technologies Europe Ltd, a Belfast-based supplier. The requirement is focused on supplying equipment rather than providing security guarding services, so it is most relevant to suppliers of body-worn cameras and related communications technology. The university is the buyer and end user, with the equipment intended for its own security team.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Swansea University used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. Halo Technologies Europe Ltd was awarded the contract on 2 September 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. Its value is £28,440 excluding VAT, or £34,128 including VAT. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2029. The published procurement information gives no further detail on the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows Swansea University’s demand for body camera equipment for its security guarding team, on a focused supply contract rather than a wider guarding-services requirement. A future competitor would need to supply suitable body-worn cameras and related communications equipment, and be capable of delivering to the university’s locations in Wales. Halo Technologies Europe Ltd, the selected supplier, is an SME based in Belfast, demonstrating that a supplier outside Swansea could win this requirement. The procurement used limited competition below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted route rather than assume an open tender. The work is suited to equipment suppliers with a credible product range and the capacity to fulfil a university security team’s operational needs.
