## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured services for an artificial-intelligence camera trial focused on detecting drivers using mobile phones and failing to wear seatbelts. The trial involves a trailer deployed at two sites, for two weeks at each site. Every detected offence is subject to a first human review and then a second human review before being sent to the police. The requirement is classified as police services. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Lewes and the work concerns policing activity in Sussex and surrounding delivery areas. This is a specialist road-safety and enforcement technology service, combining camera deployment, automated detection and structured human checking of potential offences before police action.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One service lot was awarded to AECOM LIMITED. The contract was signed on 2 April 2026 and runs from 14 April to 13 August 2026. Its value is £27,165 excluding VAT, or £35,598 including VAT. The purchased trial itself is described as four weeks, with the trailer operating for two weeks at each of two sites. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies AECOM as the selected supplier; no separate award date or weighted evaluation criteria are stated. The arrangement therefore records a completed, non-competitive purchase for a defined police technology trial rather than an open tender.

This procurement shows demand from Sussex policing for mobile or trailer-based AI camera technology that can identify mobile-phone use while driving and seatbelt non-compliance. A credible future supplier would need to provide deployable camera equipment, operate it across multiple sites, and support a short, tightly managed trial. It would also need processes for reviewing detected offences twice by human assessors before referral to police officers, with sufficient staffing, consistency and evidential quality to support enforcement decisions. Relevant capability includes road-safety monitoring, automated image or video analysis, secure handling of offence data and reliable operational coordination with police teams. Suppliers with experience delivering technology-led enforcement trials and demonstrating clear human oversight would be well placed when this type of requirement is next considered.
