## Summary

The procurement process led by the Home Office, based in London, involves the acquisition of mirrorless cameras from Nikon UK, tailored for covert surveillance missions. This procurement, under the category of "Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment," falls within the services sector. The process reached the Award stage on 28th November 2025, subsequent to the tender period ending on 10th November 2025. The contract, valued at £35,000 GBP and classified under CPV codes 35000000 and 35820000, will be effective from 11th November 2025 to 27th November 2026. This procurement was conducted through a direct method as a single tender action below threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for firms specialising in surveillance technology and security equipment supply, particularly those capable of providing specialised equipment like mirrorless cameras. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on advanced imaging technology and a strong capability to engage with law enforcement partners would be well-positioned to engage in similar procurements with the Home Office and other governmental bodies. Such contracts not only bolster company portfolios within governmental supply networks but also enhance market presence and reputation in security and surveillance domains.

## Notice

The Operational Support Unit (OSU) is nationally accredited to provide covert surveillance for HOIE Criminal & Financial Investigation (CFI), as well as to support Home Office and external law enforcement partners across the UK, working at all levels within the National Intelligence Model (NIM). OSU delivers foot, mobile, technical, covert rural (CROPs) and (soon-to-be) aerial surveillance capability. As part of a tech refresh programme, supported by ARIS funding, the OSU are replacing DSLR cameras that are approaching end of life with new mirrorless cameras. CFI partners have identified Nikon models as the most suitable for the OSU's role.
