## Summary

South Yorkshire Police Headquarters procured Airwave batteries for devices used by South Yorkshire Police. The requirement is for goods within the office and computing equipment and supplies category, specifically replacement or replenishment batteries for Airwave devices. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, supporting the buyer’s operational technology needs. The procurement was made by South Yorkshire Police Headquarters, based in Sheffield. It forms part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority IT Hardware framework, Lot 1, indicating that the requirement is linked to an established public-sector hardware purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone supply exercise. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are businesses able to provide compatible Airwave batteries and support delivery to a regional police organisation.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 17 August 2026 to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The award value is £200,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2029. The awarded supplier is the only supplier named for this requirement. The opportunity was assessed within the framework call-off route; the published information identifies the procurement method and framework arrangement but does not set out separate scoring criteria. The award is active, with delivery relating to Airwave batteries for South Yorkshire Police devices in Yorkshire and the Humber.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for specialist batteries supporting Airwave devices within a police environment. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to compatible Airwave battery products, robust stock and fulfilment arrangements, and the capacity to supply a large regional public organisation throughout a multi-year requirement. Experience supplying IT hardware or operational communications equipment would help demonstrate understanding of compatibility, continuity of supply and public-sector purchasing expectations. Suppliers would also need to operate through, or secure access to, the relevant IT hardware framework and understand its call-off process. Businesses that can combine reliable product sourcing with controlled distribution and responsive account management are best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns to market.
