Your comments lack depth and overlook key processes. In the UK, the trial phase is essential to determine whether a product meets the necessary standards for police forces.
After the trial, authorities can either adopt the product directly or proceed with a tender, depending on internal requirements.
For instance, the Devon and Cornwall Police trial transitioned into full adoption without needing a tender process, illustrating that a successful trial can lead directly to a long-term agreement. This is especially true when the technology has proven its effectiveness during the trial phase. So I think you will find a lot will take this route as it's cheaper, more seamless and ACE already know the requirements.
That said, some government entities may still require a formal tender process even after a successful trial which would depend on procurement laws in that area. However, the trial undoubtedly gives ACE a huge competitive advantage by demonstrating its value upfront. So while a tender could happen, having a proven solution already in place strengthens ACE's position significantly. And the fact that other police forces have taken it up like Devon and Cornwall, its been proven that the other police forces follow suit with their mates.
