Summary of the contracting process

British Transport Police procured virtual reality training software: XVR Complete on-scene licences. The requirement is for software licences supporting on-scene training, rather than a general software or information-systems supply. The procurement was managed by British Transport Police, based in London, and the recorded delivery location is also London. This is a goods purchase, with the software forming the defined requirement. The purchase was made through the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework, providing the route for the call-off. The successful supplier, LearnPro Efire Service Limited, is a small business. The requirement therefore concerns the supply of specialist VR training software licences to a UK police force, with delivery associated with its London location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. British Transport Police selected LearnPro Efire Service Limited through a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The award was made on 15 October 2026 for £167,000. The estimated procurement range was £100,000 to £167,000. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028. The requirement was treated as a single purchase of software licences; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The outcome shows the buyer’s chosen supplier and price for this requirement, with a two-year contract period.

For suppliers considering similar work for British Transport Police, this award demonstrates demand for specialist virtual reality training software, specifically XVR Complete on-scene licences, procured through the G-Cloud 14 framework. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software licences and demonstrate that its product supports the force’s on-scene training requirement. The selected supplier is a small business, and the procurement identified SMEs as suitable, indicating that this type of supply is not restricted to large organisations. Businesses with an appropriate framework route and experience supplying VR training software to public-sector or emergency-service customers are best aligned with the requirement. The commercial opportunity is focused on software licensing for police training, rather than broad IT provision or unrelated training services.
