Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by West Yorkshire Combined Authority on behalf of West Yorkshire Police, pertains to procuring a fully managed Cloud Software Service. This service is for online investigation, open-source research, and capturing internet evidence. The procurement falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems with a CPV code of 48000000. The contract has been awarded to Internet Investigation Solutions Limited. The contract period initiates on 13th July 2026, extending until 12th July 2030, with an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement, and this tender is currently in the award stage. The location for the service delivery is Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with a contract value of £100,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those focused on cybersecurity, digital investigations, and cloud-based services. Companies that can offer innovative technological and operational insights for law enforcement agencies to conduct secure, online operations would be highly competitive. Despite a selective procurement method, businesses that can demonstrate a robust capacity to handle security-sensitive information and provide reliable digital platforms will find this project particularly suitable for enhancing their portfolio in the public sector. SMEs may find it challenging to compete unless they possess niche expertise and a proven track record in similar projects.
