## Summary

The procurement process led by The Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police involves a direct award for "Specialist Internet connected devices capability", targeting the goods industry category. This procurement encompasses providing internet-connected devices across various regions of the United Kingdom, with the main locations including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, as well as the headquarters in Kidlington, OX5 1NZ. The process is at the award stage with a contract value of £165,000, plus gross amounting to £198,000. The official contract period is slated from 23rd June 2026 to 22nd June 2027, with potential extension options available.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in software packages and information systems, like Disruptive Industries Ltd, which have been identified as suppliers. This procurement method, marked by a direct award, is justified by a single supplier's technical reasons, presenting a unique prospect for specialised technology firms to engage directly in public sector contracts without undergoing competitive tender processes. Businesses aiming to supply similar government agencies or technology-driven contracts would find this procurement a fitting match, positioning themselves as key contributors to innovation in public safety and connectivity solutions over its duration and potential future renewals.
