## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys procured forensic footwear scanners, classified as clinical forensics equipment. The scanners support footwear evidence examination for the Dyfed Powys force and the wider Tri-Force alliance, which commissioned them to achieve economies of scale and collaboration. The associated software was identified separately and is compatible only with these scanners. Delivery is specified in the data for two areas of Wales, identified by regional codes rather than place names, so the named delivery locations cannot be established from the published details. This is a purchase of equipment rather than a service or works contract; the requirement centres on the scanners and their compatible software.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AGX Holdings Limited. The buyer used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The process was arranged as one lot. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £47,725 excluding VAT, or £57,270 including VAT. The award records the procurement as goods and identifies clinical forensics equipment as the relevant classification. No evaluation between competing bids is described, as the contract was awarded without competition. The award relates to the single lot and the selected supplier is named above.

For suppliers assessing demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys, this award indicates a requirement for forensic footwear-scanning equipment that works with software restricted to the selected scanner system. A credible future competitor would need to offer scanners with compatible forensic software and demonstrate that the equipment supports footwear evidence examination. The buyer cited the Tri-Force alliance and sought economies of scale and collaboration, so suppliers able to support a coordinated requirement across policing partners may be well placed. The award went to an SME, showing that a supplier of this scale can serve the requirement. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not provide evidence of competitive evaluation criteria or a tested technical scoring basis.
