## Summary

The procurement process involved the CAMBRIDGESHIRE CONSTABULARY seeking to purchase Laser Scanner Hardware and Software, specifically Faro M70 and S150 Laser Scanner systems, valued at £50,000. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action, considered appropriate as the estimated value fell below the European threshold, and the authority concluded that only Faro Technologies UK Limited could meet the specific technical requirements. The contract period commenced on 1st November 2017 and will run until 31st October 2018, with the procurement officially awarded on 24th October 2017.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for businesses in the technology and scientific equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in laser scanning and analytical software. Companies that can provide high-quality, conforming hardware and related support services would benefit significantly, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that align with the contractual requirements identified by the CAMBRIDGESHIRE CONSTABULARY.

## Notice

Purchase of Faro M70 and S150 Laser Scanner hardware, processing software, support contracts and ancillaries. The value of the proposed procurement falls below the threshold set for competition by OJEU. The opportunity has not been advertised on Contracts Finder as the Organisation believes that this is the only supplier that can provide the required items that will conform with the existing hardware and software. Other resellers were contacted but confirmed that they could not beat the OEM price.
