This procurement falls under the industry category of non-piloted aircraft (CPV code 34711200) and is situated within the North Wales region (UKL). The procurement, which aims to equip the North Wales Police with drones and associated services, has reached the award stage. Significant dates include the contract's signing on 21st August 2024. The procurement method employed was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specific operational and relationship continuity requirements outlined by the Police and Crime Commissioner. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the provision, servicing, and training of unmanned aircraft operations. Companies specialising in non-piloted aircraft can not only benefit from the immediate financial gain but also build a long-term relationship with the North Wales Police, a public body known for its stringent operational standards. Businesses with strong capabilities in delivering high-quality equipment and training services consistently would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, positioning themselves as reliable partners for future public safety and security projects. ## Notice The objective of the resulting project is to ensure that NWP is supplied with the necessary equipment, servicing, and training for our unmanned aircraft operations. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The objective of the resulting project is to ensure that NWP is supplied with the necessary equipment, servicing, and training for our unmanned aircraft operations. ### Procurement Information 1 - disruption through the process of establishing new working relationships with the account manager in a new provider 2 - disruption and delay caused by establishing new processes and communications for maintenance/servicing 3 - disruption and delay caused by establishing new relationships with the company as a training provider and familiarisation with their training programmes and content/online portals etc. 4 - disruption and delays caused by setting up new communications channels and procedures between our finance teams and a new company 5 - risk of significant delay to the drone unit acquiring equipment that has been planned as budgeted for in 24/25, which we anticipated actioning now. Any tender process, which may take a number of months will cause a delay in progressing this equipment plan, to the detriment of the service provided by the drone unit. 6 - we also risk moving to a new provider and finding that they are not as good in some or all of these areas and risk receiving a reduced quality of service and relationship. Although I accept that a good relationship with other companies would be possible, we have no dissatisfaction with Heliguy, therefore there is no reason to risk losing this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026893-2024 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Aug 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £160,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR NORTH WALES POLICE & NORTH WALES POLICE | | Locality | COLWYN BAY, NORTH WALES | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL29 8AW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL33 Conwy and Denbighshire | | Local authority | Conwy | | Electoral ward | Glyn | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd North | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COLENA LTD T/A HELIGUY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34711200 - Non-piloted aircraft ## Release History - 22 Aug 2024 at 14:49 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026893-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.north-wales.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
