## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought ancillary cabling and associated products for Northamptonshire Police, including audio-equipment accessories. This is a supply requirement supporting the force’s operational equipment and communications needs. Delivery covers Northamptonshire, including the Northampton and Wellingborough areas. The procurement was handled by the Commissioner, with the products awarded to Sonic Communications Ltd. Its scope is focused on cabling and related products rather than a broader communications service or infrastructure project, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide these goods to a police force across the county.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sonic Communications Ltd through a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026. Its initial period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, with two 12-month extension options, allowing for a maximum period through 23 August 2029. The contract value is £165,000 excluding VAT (£198,000 including VAT). There is one lot, covering ancillary cabling and associated products. The available procurement details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions; the contract was awarded without a competitive evaluation.

This award shows Northamptonshire Police has recurring demand for ancillary cabling, audio-equipment accessories and related products, sourced through a direct award rather than a competed tender on this occasion. Suppliers positioning for similar requirements should be able to supply a suitable range of cabling and associated equipment and fulfil orders for a police force across Northamptonshire. A credible competitor would demonstrate reliable product availability, consistent fulfilment and the capacity to support the force’s operational purchasing needs. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that delivery of this requirement was within the reach of an SME. Product suppliers and specialist distributors in cabling and audio-equipment accessories are the closest fit; businesses offering unrelated services are less directly aligned.
