Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority bought workspace software and secure hosted cloud storage for West Yorkshire Police. The requirement is a managed technology service providing a digital workspace alongside secure, hosted storage for organisational data and users. It is classified as an industry-specific software package (CPV 48100000), within the services category. Delivery covers Yorkshire and the Humber. The Combined Authority is the buying organisation and procured the service on behalf of the police force. This requirement is relevant to suppliers of hosted cloud platforms, secure data storage, digital workplace software, systems integration and associated technology support services serving public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Softcat Plc was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026 for GBP 46,017.91. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 13 July 2029. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the supplier selected is Softcat Plc. The procurement used the G-Cloud 14 Framework route, so competition took place among framework suppliers rather than through an open tender to the wider market.

This award confirms demand from West Yorkshire Police for a combined digital workspace and secure hosted cloud storage service, delivered through a public-sector technology framework. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer should be able to provide reliable hosted infrastructure, secure data storage, user-facing workspace functionality and the operational support needed to keep the service available and protected. Credible competitors are likely to understand public-sector security, data handling, service management and framework call-off processes, while demonstrating the capacity to support a police organisation. Relevant experience delivering integrated cloud and workspace services, with clear controls for confidentiality, resilience, access management and ongoing support, would strengthen a future proposition.
