Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting on behalf of West Yorkshire Police, procured video forensics and evidence analysis services. The requirement concerns specialist analysis of video evidence, supported by software and information systems. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. The buyer used a hardware framework to procure the service, indicating a framework call-off rather than a standalone competition. This requirement is relevant to suppliers providing video-forensics and evidence-analysis capability for police use, including the associated technology and service support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Limited. The award was made on 1 October 2026, with a contract period from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2029; the buyer’s description calls the initial period two years, which differs from those contract dates. The awarded value is £91,854.12. The estimated procurement range was £30,618 to £91,854. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from the 2821-2022 Hardware Framework. The contract covers a single requirement, and the stated process identifies no separate lots. West Yorkshire Combined Authority acted for West Yorkshire Police.

This award demonstrates demand from West Yorkshire Police for video-forensics and evidence-analysis services procured through the buyer’s hardware framework. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can provide specialist handling and analysis of video evidence, alongside the relevant software and information systems. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, although the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs; this outcome shows that an SME did win the contract, but does not establish that the buyer intends to target SMEs. Suppliers should be able to operate within a framework call-off route and support delivery for policing in Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement is focused on forensic video and evidence analysis, rather than general software supply.
