Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is exploring outdoor CCTV camera solutions to support its fly-tipping enforcement team. The requirement under consideration is for six cameras, each providing a full 360-degree field of view from a single physical camera unit. They would be installed in public-realm locations to deter and detect fly-tipping, assist investigations and capture footage suitable for use as evidence. The council is interested in cameras designed for continuous 24/7 operation, with remote management and local recording, and with scope for future analytics. The goods sought are video-surveillance equipment. Delivery is in Wolverhampton, although specific installation sites are not identified. The council is consulting the market to understand supplier capabilities, available solutions and possible commercial arrangements before deciding how to proceed.

This process is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to procure and is conducting preliminary market engagement, not inviting tenders. It is asking potential suppliers to respond to a questionnaire about solution availability, capability, delivery approaches and commercial structure. The council’s current indicative requirement is six cameras. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The council gives 20 November 2026 at noon as the expected closing time for questionnaire responses. No procurement procedure, bid evaluation approach or contract budget is set out at this stage; the engagement is intended to inform the council’s understanding of the market and likely supplier interest before the procurement is developed.

This market engagement is relevant to suppliers of outdoor CCTV equipment and integrated surveillance solutions, particularly those able to provide a single-unit camera with full 360-degree coverage. The council is seeking supplier input on what is available, how the service could be delivered and what commercial structures may be workable, so manufacturers, systems integrators and providers with relevant installation or support capabilities may be well placed to contribute. Solutions should be suitable for continuous operation in public spaces and support remote management and local recording. The council also wants to understand options for future analytics, making suppliers with adaptable systems and a credible path to adding analytical capability relevant. The engagement can help suppliers explain technical capabilities and inform the council’s eventual requirements; no specific accreditation or qualification is stated.
