## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey bought offender monitoring tags and associated monitoring services for offenders who meet the relevant criteria. The requirement includes replacing tags that are lost or damaged, with the quantity and associated services able to increase or decrease in response to demand. Buddi Tags are already deployed and operational across Surrey and Sussex Police, supporting continuity of the existing monitoring service. The work concerns the supply of monitoring devices and their ongoing monitoring rather than general policing or unrelated technology services. Delivery covers Surrey and Sussex, although the published location data identifies these areas through regional coverage rather than named delivery sites. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Guildford.

The procurement has been completed and awarded by direct award to BUDDI LIMITED. The award was made on 16 September 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The awarded value is £220,951 excluding VAT, or £265,141 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option for one 12-month extension to 30 September 2030. The contract is demand-led and may vary in volume; it is above the relevant threshold. Surrey and Sussex Police already use the supplier’s tags, and the direct award was justified by continuity, avoiding replacement of deployed equipment and disruption to monitoring. A standstill period ended on 28 September 2026, with signature scheduled for 29 September 2026 before the recorded signing date.

This award shows established demand for offender-monitoring hardware linked to a managed monitoring service across Surrey and Sussex Police. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable electronic monitoring tags, replacement of lost or damaged devices, and the operational capability to monitor offenders who meet the buyer’s criteria. Experience of supplying, configuring, deploying and supporting equipment at policing scale would be important, particularly where service continuity and uninterrupted monitoring are central concerns. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate capacity to respond to changing demand over the life of an arrangement, including increases or decreases in tag volumes and associated services. The incumbent’s existing deployment shows that interoperability, transition planning, retrieval and reissuing of devices, and avoiding disruption to operational teams would be significant competitive considerations.

## Notice

The purchase and monitoring of offender monitoring tags for offenders who meet the criteria. This includes the replacement of any lost or damage tags.

### Procurement Information

Buddi Tags are already deployed and operational across both Surrey and Sussex Police, forming an established part of current service delivery. Awarding a contract directly to the existing provider will ensure continuity of service and avoid significant operational disruption. A change of supplier would require the replacement of all tags currently in use, creating logistical and operational challenges associated with retrieving, reissuing, and configuring new devices. This would place an additional burden on operational teams, increase the risk of interruption to monitoring activities, and could adversely impact service users during the transition period. The direct award therefore provides a proportionate and pragmatic solution that maintains business continuity, preserves the effectiveness of an established service, and avoids the operational risks and costs associated with replacing equipment that is already deployed and functioning effectively.
