UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland purchased in-car automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera equipment. The scope is equipment only, rather than a wider package of services or installation. The goods fall within the communications and telecommunications equipment category. The buying organisation is the Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner’s office, based in Stockton-on-Tees. The procurement was arranged as one lot and was awarded to Cleartone Telecoms Limited, an SME based in Pontypool. This outcome indicates demand for in-vehicle ANPR hardware for the Cleveland policing organisation; suppliers focused on supplying comparable camera systems are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Cleartone Telecoms Limited. The award was made on 6 October 2026, with a gross value of £283,656 (£236,380 excluding grossed-up taxes), for one lot. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The purchase was made through a selective route under a framework agreement; the process records that this call-off was not competitive. No detailed evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information. The award is active, and a contract signature was scheduled for 25 October 2026.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible competitors would need to supply in-car ANPR camera equipment suitable for police use, rather than offer general telecoms equipment without a vehicle-based ANPR capability. The purchase was a defined equipment-only requirement, so suppliers able to provide the hardware as a focused package are best aligned. Cleartone Telecoms Limited, an SME, was selected through a framework route, showing that this type of purchase can be awarded to a specialist-sized supplier through an existing framework. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore have relevant in-vehicle camera and communications equipment experience and access to a suitable framework route. The buyer is the Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner’s office, and the requirement is specific to its policing operations.
