Summary of the contracting process

The Lancashire Constabulary has awarded a contract for the renewal of the Police National Legal Database (PNLD) subscription, covering the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. The procurement process followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The project, valued at £103,217.4, falls under the 'Software package and information systems' category and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The award was announced on 25th February 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026, marking the completion of the tender process.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems to engage with public sector clients. Companies that can provide legal database services and systems management are well-suited for such contracts, particularly established entities due to the unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs. The project could pave the way for further partnerships with government organisations like the Lancashire Constabulary, offering avenues for substantial growth and strengthening their portfolio within the public sector landscape.
