The procurement stage is in the 'award' phase, with the process officially completed. The contract was awarded to Internet Investigation Solutions Limited on 10th December 2025, with the contract period spanning from 19th December 2025 to 18th December 2028. The procurement was executed using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, valued at £183,000. The main location for service delivery is London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) offering managed cloud software services or specialising in internet intelligence and investigation solutions. Businesses that can provide a robust and secure platform for online investigations and evidence collection could substantially benefit from engaging in similar future tenders. Given the government’s focus on outsourcing such services and the potential framework agreements offering repeat work, companies in the IT sector that possess the capability to cater to law enforcement agencies and handle sensitive data will find opportunities for growth and expansion.
