Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset Police procured Pimloc Secure Redact software, supplied through the software licence reseller Phoenix Software Ltd. The requirement is for software and related information systems, classified as a services procurement, for delivery in the South West of England. The contracting process names Devon and Cornwall Police as the buyer, while the tender description identifies Dorset Police as the force for which the software is provided. The scope described is the provision of the named software; no further operational purpose or software functionality is set out. Phoenix Software Ltd is the selected supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd on 16 September 2026. The awarded value is £153,765. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The contract was let as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot structure or evaluation criteria are reported. The contract is for one named software provision, with the award marked active.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a future requirement from this buyer, this award demonstrates demand for Pimloc Secure Redact software for police use, acquired through a framework call-off and reseller. A credible competitor would need access to the specified software and the ability to supply it through an appropriate software licensing route. The selected supplier is a large business, and the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a procurement route and scale that may favour established resellers with relevant framework access. Suppliers should be able to support a public-sector police customer with the software provision itself; the published scope does not establish additional service, implementation or technical requirements.
