Tender description

Update June 2025 this contract has been cancelled as decided that raising ad hoc requirements as and when required offers better value for money for the force. This will be reviewed annually. The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire on behalf of Warwickshire Police has awarded a contract for the support and maintenance of equipment and software for use in communication via the force to police helicopters. This was a direct award via an internal exemption process due to the unique supply and to award for a longer term to ensure regular inspections and negate the need for ad hoc requests for support. The agreement is in place for 3 years with no extension periods.

About the buyer

Warwickshire Police is a blue light force serving Warwickshire, and lists tenders on its own In-Tend Procurement Portal. West Midlands Police already supplies Warwickshire's IT services under a standing agreement between the two forces. From April 2021, West Midlands Police began delivering payroll and business support functions for Warwickshire. About ten per cent of Warwickshire's services run through this regional collaboration, the rest handled locally. Forensic Scene Investigators stay based locally at Bedworth, working under West Midlands Police's direction. That collaboration began after Warwickshire's earlier alliance with West Mercia Police broke down in 2020.

The top 10 blue light buyers spent a collective £2.2bn between FY2021 and FY2025.

Over the past 5 years, most of Warwickshire Police's contract awards have been in software and information systems, transport equipment and security and defence equipment.
