## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham concerns the provision of replacement body-worn video cameras with an award granted under the title "Provision of Axon BWV 4". The procurement is classified under the police equipment industry category and involved a direct award via the GCA framework RM6259 (Lot 5) Vertical Application Solutions. The contract is valued at £783,000 with a start date of 1st September 2026, and an end date of 31st August 2029. Located in Durham, within the UKC1 region, this initiative bypassed the requirement for a prior publication of a call for competition, deemed outside the scope of the directive, aiming to achieve value for money by upgrading currently used models.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers in the field of police and safety equipment, considering the direct upgrade requirements. Businesses with expertise in vertical application solutions and those capable of fulfilling the specific technical demands of police forces would be well-positioned to compete under similar procurement frameworks. The procurement method's streamlined nature, focusing on direct award without open competition, favours suppliers already equipped with prior engagement or those who demonstrate strong alignment with framework agreements.
