The procurement process is currently at the stage of Competitive quotation (below threshold). The contract period is scheduled to start on November 9, 2023, and end on October 31, 2027. The tender deadline for submissions is November 2, 2023. This opportunity falls under the goods category and pertains to the industry classification of Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment. The procurement process is limited, with the main procurement entity being Gateshead Council based in Gateshead, England, with delivery addresses in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors (VCSEs), to provide body cameras and radios. Businesses in the communication equipment industry are well-suited to compete for this contract. The requirement for working radios and body cameras for lone workers presents a specific niche that businesses in this sector can fulfil. The Council's emphasis on ensuring staff safety and compliance with health and safety regulations creates a platform for businesses to showcase their solutions in enhancing workplace safety and communication for lone workers. ## Notice The Council employs civil enforcement officers (CEOs) whose role is to enforce parking contraventions under the Traffic Management Act 2004. The law requires them, in most situations, to serve penalty charge notices (PCNs) by affixing them to the vehicle or handing them to the driver. This can sometimes bring them into conflict with drivers (and indeed other people) and the Council has a duty of care under the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to assess the risks its staff are exposed to and to take reasonable steps to mitigate those risks. Two ways in which this is achieved (both at this authority and elsewhere) is by ensuring they wear bodycams at all times when enforcing and that they are always equipped with working radios which enable them to stay in touch with each other and the office, wherever they are in the Borough. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/254183b1-580b-483a-9cc8-8b4e71490723 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 2 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Nov 2023 - 31 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GATESHEAD COUNCIL | | Locality | GATESHEAD | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE8 1HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Gateshead | | Electoral ward | Bridges | | Westminster constituency | Gateshead Central and Whickham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ## Release History - 27 Oct 2023 at 09:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/254183b1-580b-483a-9cc8-8b4e71490723 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/254183b1-580b-483a-9cc8-8b4e71490723 27th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=0c55ae7f-a174-ee11-8124-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
