Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council bought 20 body cameras for use by its Housing Services. This is a goods requirement covering the supply of wearable video-recording equipment, classified under CPV 32234000. The equipment is for delivery and use in South Ayrshire, with the council acting as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement relates specifically to housing-service operations rather than a general camera or surveillance equipment purchase. A supplier would therefore need to provide body-worn camera products suitable for use by housing staff and able to support the council’s operational needs. The contracting authority is based at County Buildings in Ayr, and the requirement is associated with Ayr and the wider South Ayrshire area.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. South Ayrshire Council used a limited procedure described as an award without prior publication of a call for competition, because the value was outside the scope of the applicable regulations. There was one bid, submitted electronically. Reveal Media was awarded the single lot for the body cameras. The associated contract is active, valued at £12,830.40 including the stated GBP currency, and was signed on 24 July 2026. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award record identifies Reveal Media as the selected supplier; the published data does not set out a separate award date or contract end date.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for body-worn video equipment within South Ayrshire Council’s housing operations. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would have a proven body-camera product range, experience supplying public-sector or operational users, and the capacity to deliver a complete equipment order rather than isolated units. They would also need to understand practical requirements for housing-service staff, including reliable wearable recording in day-to-day visits and interactions. The single electronic bid and direct limited route indicate that credibility with the buyer, clear product fit and readiness to transact electronically can matter alongside the equipment itself. Relevant suppliers include specialist body-camera manufacturers, authorised distributors and technology providers with established support arrangements for council users.
