## Summary

This procurement process involves the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, acting for the Greater Manchester Police, which has awarded a contract for a "Stinger- Tyre Deflation Device." The industry category falls under "Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment," and the goods are designated for the UK region UKD3. The process used a direct procurement method under GMP's exemption process due to the value being below the threshold, thus not requiring competition. The contract was signed on 18th July 2025, and spans from 21st July 2025 to 20th July 2026, with a total gross value of £12,836.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in security and police equipment manufacturing and supply. Since SpanSet Ltd, an SME, was the sole UK supplier for this contract, similar SMEs with a focus on innovative security solutions could find opportunities in directly negotiated or exemption-granted processes. Businesses seeking to provide niche or specialised equipment within the security industry may find it beneficial to engage with public authorities and establish direct procurement arrangements.

## Notice

The stingers have been approved for use in Home Office Police Forces. The company chosen are the only UK suppliers for the stinger device. Awarded via GMP's exemption process as per GMP Contract Standing Orders. The date the contract is signed the date the exemption has been approved. The contract dates are based on the requirements of the exemption and value. An exemption may not exceed its maximum value and therefore the end date may be sooner if the value is exhausted. Contracted by Greater Manchester Combined Authority for Greater Manchester Police.
