Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary is renewing its IIZUKA case management system for victim services. The purchase is a software package and information system, delivered for the constabulary in the North West of England. The requirement is for continuation of the existing system rather than a broader set of victim-support services: the procurement description identifies renewal of the IIZUKA Case Management System. Softcat is providing the system through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions 2 framework. This is a technology supply requirement for a police force, centred on the case management platform used in victim services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Softcat Plc through a selective framework call-off. The award was made on 15 October 2026. The awarded value is £137,853.61. The contract runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The original tender deadline was 15 October 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was procured as a single, unlottted purchase; the award value covers the case management system renewal. Lancashire Constabulary assessed suppliers through the framework call-off route. The available procurement details do not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed selection thresholds, so the award outcome establishes Softcat as the selected supplier without identifying a more specific evaluation formula.

For suppliers competing when Lancashire Constabulary next considers this requirement, the award shows demand for renewal of an established victim-services case management platform, not for general software or frontline support services. Credible competitors would need to supply and support a comparable case management system and demonstrate that it can meet the operational needs of a police force’s victim-services work. The framework call-off route is commercially significant: suppliers would need access to the relevant purchasing framework or an eligible route through it. The procurement was awarded to a large supplier, and the buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This suggests that suppliers should be able to manage a direct public-sector software renewal at organisational scale.
