Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire has procured software support services for a single cloud-hosted Chronicle solution. The requirement covers support and renewal for multiple Chronicle modules, including Driver, PIP and the Nominal Skills Import Interface. This is an information systems and software support requirement, intended to maintain the buyer’s existing Chronicle environment rather than introduce separate systems. The service is for the commissioner and Lincolnshire policing operations, with delivery associated with the buyer’s Lincoln address. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. JML Software Solutions, a Bristol-based SME, is the appointed supplier. Businesses with expertise in Chronicle systems, hosted software support and interfaces for importing skills or personnel data would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to JML Software Solutions on 18 August 2026. It was run as a selective procedure and awarded as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £112,967 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 7 August 2026. The award is active and relates to the full Chronicle support requirement rather than separately identified lots. The procurement category is services, with software packages and information systems as the associated classification. The award provides a clear example of the buyer’s chosen route for renewing specialist Chronicle support through an existing framework.

This award indicates demand for a specialist supplier able to support a live, cloud-hosted Chronicle environment across several operational modules. A credible future competitor would need practical knowledge of Chronicle Driver and PIP, together with the Nominal Skills Import Interface, and the ability to keep these components working as one service. Relevant strengths include software maintenance, incident and service support, hosted-system administration, data-import interfaces and continuity for policing or other operational users. The buyer has demonstrated that an SME can deliver this requirement, so smaller software specialists with suitable technical capacity may be well placed. Experience supporting public-sector systems, managing sensitive operational data, documenting changes and providing dependable user support would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement is next considered.
