## Summary

The Security Industry Authority procured goods for implementing a UK-wide digital radio system to support frontline operational staff. The requirement covers radio, telecommunications and related communications equipment, with delivery across the United Kingdom. It is a national operational communications deployment rather than a local supply requirement, so relevant suppliers need to support users and delivery activity across the UK. The procurement is classified under CPV 32000000, covering radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment. The buyer is the Security Industry Authority, based in England. The selected supplier, Affini Technology Limited, is identified as an SME. The requirement is focused on supplying and implementing a digital radio capability for operational teams.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a tender process. The Security Industry Authority used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 11 February 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Affini Technology Limited on 11 March 2026 for £81,831.60 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 23 March 2026 to 22 March 2031. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The tender had a single requirement and was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active and the contract covers the full UK-wide digital radio system implementation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Security Industry Authority for a UK-wide digital radio system supporting frontline operational staff. It is relevant to SMEs with practical capability in digital radio, telecommunications equipment and the implementation of operational communications systems. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that it can deploy and support a national system, integrate equipment into frontline working arrangements and provide dependable communications for operational users. Experience delivering radio or related telecommunications systems at UK scale would help establish credibility. Suppliers should also be able to manage implementation across multiple locations and demonstrate the technical capacity, service reliability and operational understanding needed by a public safety-focused organisation.
