Summary of the contracting process

The Security Industry Authority bought quality monitoring software as a service, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The product supports the Authority’s Quality Monitoring team and is intended to work alongside a quality monitoring scorecard. Its purpose is to give teams an objective way to assess service quality, recognise good practice, identify vulnerabilities in processes, and highlight individual and organisational training and development needs. The requirement covers software or a product for use by the Authority’s teams, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a technology-enabled quality assurance and continuous improvement requirement, rather than a general software supply opportunity. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 December 2023 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 2 July 2024 to UK IT Networks Ltd for £39,795.84 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 August 2024 to 13 August 2028. The awarded value and period apply to this single award. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, and the recorded outcome is an active award. The buying organisation is the Security Industry Authority. The process was classified as a services procurement and was marked as suitable for SMEs.

This award shows that the Security Industry Authority purchases focused quality assurance software through a framework call-off, at a scale that can be delivered by an SME. A credible future competitor would need to develop or supply a practical quality monitoring product, support objective assessment of service delivery, and help users identify good practice and process vulnerabilities. The solution should also provide useful insight into individual and organisational training and development needs, and work alongside a quality monitoring scorecard rather than operating as an isolated tool. Relevant suppliers are software businesses with experience in quality assurance, monitoring, assessment workflows, reporting and continuous improvement. Framework access or an equivalent route to a selective call-off would also be commercially important for pursuing this buyer’s requirement.
