## Summary

Greater Manchester Combined Authority, contracting for Greater Manchester Police, procured independent verification and testing of new road safety cameras and related camera schemes introduced under the GM Safer Roads Partnership. The service covers ad hoc testing when cameras are installed and brought into operation, helping confirm that speed cameras and enforcement technology are accurate, reliable and suitable for use in court. This is a specialist road safety and traffic monitoring service, with associated technical and IT support. Delivery is across Greater Manchester. The requirement is relevant to organisations that test, verify or provide assurance for road safety cameras, enforcement technology and associated schemes, rather than to general IT suppliers or routine equipment installers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly through the Greater Manchester Police exemption process, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. RSS International Ltd was selected as the supplier. The award date and contract signature date were 11 May 2026. The contract runs from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2030, subject to the maximum value being exhausted sooner. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The contract is for services and is recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through the exemption route rather than a competitive tender, with the central operational requirement being appropriate UKAS accreditation for the cameras covered. The procurement has one completed lot.

This award signals recurring demand from Greater Manchester’s policing and road-safety partnership for independent, court-defensible testing of enforcement cameras. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical competence in road safety camera verification, traffic monitoring and enforcement technology, including the ability to test equipment and schemes as installations go live on an ad hoc basis. UKAS accreditation appropriate to the relevant cameras is a core requirement, with ISO/IEC 17025 providing the key quality standard for testing laboratories. Suppliers should therefore be able to produce robust, impartial test results, maintain reliable technical processes and support the evidential needs of policing and court proceedings. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller providers can deliver this focused requirement.

## Notice

The independent verification and testing of new road safety cameras and schemes being introduced under the GM Safer Roads Partnership, of which GMP is part of. Independent testing takes place on an adhoc basis as and when cameras are installed and made live. The supplier is required to hold UKAS accreditation appropriate for these cameras. Road safety camera testing accreditation ensures speed cameras and enforcement technology are accurate, reliable, and admissible in court. The key standard is ISO/IEC 17025. Awarded via GMP's exemption process as per GMP Contract Standing Orders. The date the contract is signed is 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.
