## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria bought installation of a quantum receiver for Northumbria Police. This is a specialist communications equipment installation requirement, classified under radio, television and telecommunications equipment (CPV 32000000). The work concerns installing the receiver rather than a broader programme of police communications services. The published delivery location is in the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. VISLINK LTD was selected to deliver the requirement. The purchasing organisation is based in Newcastle, and the project is for Northumbria Police. Suppliers whose work covers the installation and integration of specialist communications or radio equipment are the closest fit. The requirement is presented as one package, rather than a set of separately described service or equipment lots.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. VISLINK LTD received the award and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2027. Its stated value is £60,447.49 excluding VAT, or £72,536.99 including VAT. The procurement was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It was organised as a single lot. The available description identifies installation of a quantum receiver as the requirement; no separate award scoring basis or eligibility test is recorded. The award relates to goods, with the work specifically involving installation. These details show the outcome and the commercial scale of this Northumbria Police purchase.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Northumbria Police, this award demonstrates demand for specialist quantum receiver installation within a police communications environment. A credible competitor would need to supply or work with the relevant receiver technology and have the technical capability to install it reliably. Experience with radio, telecommunications or related communications equipment is directly relevant to the requirement. The award went to a small or medium-sized supplier, showing that this scale of specialist installation was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large prime contractor. The purchase was made through a direct award without competition, so the route used for this particular requirement did not test competing bids. Suppliers should treat the contract as evidence of a specific buyer need, not as an invitation to bid or evidence that the same procurement route will be used again.
