Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority bought driving-licence-check software to support checks on driving licences. This is a software service for the Authority, whose headquarters are at Kelvedon Park in Witham. The stated delivery location is the East of England. The procurement is categorised as an industry-specific software package (CPV 48100000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Licence Check Ltd on 28 September 2026. The award value is £18,000. The contract period runs from 5 March 2027 to 4 March 2030. The route was a direct award through G-Cloud 14. The procurement was presented as one requirement, with no lots described. The stated tender response deadline was 29 September 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates demand from Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority for software that enables driving-licence checks. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a software service specifically capable of carrying out those checks, and the capacity to support the Authority’s operational use across its East of England service. The selected provider, Licence Check Ltd, is recorded as an SME, although the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; those indicators give conflicting signals about the buyer’s intended supplier profile. The stated route was a direct award through G-Cloud 14, so familiarity with that framework route would be relevant to understanding how the buyer placed this requirement.
