Telematics Tenders and Contracts

Most telematics notices cover vehicle and fleet telematics: GPS tracking hardware, in-cab units, dashcams, driver behaviour monitoring and the software platform that reports on all of it. A smaller share is telemetry equipment for non-vehicle assets. Contracts range from a single supply-and-fit job to multi-year subscriptions covering hundreds of vehicles.

Stotles brings together telematics tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Police forces and fire and rescue services often call off or directly award telematics from the Tyres, Glass and Telematics framework, which has a lot for vehicle telematics hardware and software.

Telematics data on drivers and vehicles is personal data under UK data protection law, so suppliers must support the buyer's data protection impact assessment, and in-vehicle hardware must meet vehicle electrical safety standards. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Both routes appear. Some notices are a stand-alone telematics solution, while others sit as a lot inside a wider tyres, glass and telematics framework, or get folded into a fleet management and maintenance contract. Check the lot structure on the notice itself before assuming it is telematics-only.

Police and fire and rescue services, local councils and NHS trusts running their own transport fleets are regular buyers, alongside waste, highways and passenger transport teams. Most are replacing or renewing an existing telematics contract rather than fitting a fleet out for the first time.

Read fleet replacement plans, vehicle framework renewals, depot reviews and lease expiry dates, which show telematics work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the fleet teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
