## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire procured data-only mobile SIM connectivity for fixed and mobile automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. The service supports real-time transmission of images and associated metadata to central ANPR processing systems. Connectivity must be secure and resilient, and operate continuously without on-site attendance, including at roadside and remote camera locations. The delivery area is the North West of England. This is a mobile communications requirement focused on dependable data connections for police ANPR infrastructure, rather than voice services or the supply of cameras and processing systems. Businesses providing mobile data connectivity and SIM services are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to British Telecommunications Limited through a direct award under the RM6261 mobile voice and data services agreement. The award date was 24 August 2026. The awarded value is £90,363.24. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was procured as goods, with a single stated delivery area in the North West of England. The recorded award is active. The procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or a separate selection threshold, so the recorded outcome and route are the clearest indicators of how this purchase was made.

This award demonstrates demand from the Cheshire police service for mobile data connections that can keep ANPR cameras transmitting images and metadata continuously, including from roadside and remote sites. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to provide secure, resilient mobile connectivity suited to unattended 24/7 operation and dependable links to central processing systems. The award was made using the RM6261 route, so familiarity with that agreement is commercially relevant to suppliers seeking to serve this buyer’s requirement. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller providers could be relevant where they can meet the operational demands of a police connectivity service.

## Notice

The supplier shall provide secure, resilient, data-only mobile connectivity to support fixed and mobile ANPR cameras, enabling real- time transmission of image and metadata to central ANPR processing systems. The service must be suitable for 24/7 unattended operation in roadside and remote locations.
