Summary of the contracting process

The Security Industry Authority procured i2 software licences and associated services for UK Policing and wider public sector agencies participating in a national contract. The requirement covers industry-specific software used to develop and present criminal intelligence by combining information from different sources into evidential packages for prosecuting or charging offenders. The scope also includes software supply, user and computer support, maintenance and repair, consultancy, and personnel training. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The main procurement category is goods, with the associated work focused on specialist software and its ongoing operational support. This requirement is relevant to suppliers of i2 products, criminal intelligence systems, software services, technical support, consultancy, maintenance or training for public-sector users.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bluelight Commercial Limited on 18 March 2025. The awarded value is £145,000.31 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. The Security Industry Authority used an ‘Other - STA’ procurement method, and the tender submission deadline was 1 October 2024 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The selected supplier is responsible for the i2 licences and associated services described in the requirement, supporting participating policing and wider public-sector organisations under the national arrangement.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for i2 licences and the services needed to operate them in criminal intelligence work. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement from the Security Industry Authority would need credible capability in supplying or supporting i2 products, including software maintenance, repairs, technical support and consultancy. Experience of helping policing or other public-sector users combine information from multiple sources and produce evidential material would be directly relevant. Providers should also be able to train personnel and support users across a national customer base, rather than supplying software alone. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a specialist smaller provider could be well placed where it can demonstrate the required product expertise, service capacity and delivery capability.
