Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset commissioned works to upgrade the closed-circuit television (CCTV) system at Bournemouth Custody. The requirement covers custody-facility surveillance, including CCTV cameras and a closed-circuit surveillance system, together with electrical installation work. The work is at the custody facility in Bournemouth, Dorset. This is a security and electrical installation project for a police custody setting, rather than a general CCTV supply requirement: suppliers need to be able to deliver an integrated upgrade within an operational custodial environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Eclipse Digital Solutions Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 26 June 2026 and runs from 7 September to 27 November 2026. Its value is £452,782 excluding VAT (£543,339 including VAT). The award covers the CCTV upgrade works at Bournemouth Custody. The published procurement information identifies a limited competition route but does not set out the evaluation criteria, so the award basis beyond the selected supplier is not described here.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to combine CCTV and surveillance-system expertise with electrical installation capability, and demonstrate that they can upgrade security infrastructure in a police custody facility. The award indicates demand for an integrated works package rather than cameras alone, with the delivery responsibility sitting with one supplier. Suppliers should therefore be equipped to coordinate equipment installation and associated electrical work as a single project, while working in a sensitive custodial setting. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement was delivered by a smaller business; this is evidence of a route accessible to capable specialist firms, rather than only large contractors.
