Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing Limited procured continuing infrastructure and software maintenance for its AIMS platform, including evolving deliverables and a budget for development work. The requirement is categorised as software services for platform interconnectivity (CPV 48211000). Delivery is associated with the College’s location in Coventry, England. The scope centres on maintaining the existing infrastructure and software while supporting further development, rather than supplying a standalone software package. The procurement was arranged as a framework call-off, with the College as buyer and Elastic Case Ltd (Quickcase) selected to provide the services.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The College used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Elastic Case Ltd (Quickcase) on 26 March 2026, at a value of £2,299,213.33. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an initial two-year term and two optional 12-month extensions; the stated potential total value across the full term is £2,299,213.33 including VAT. The tender deadline was 26 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The published data indicates suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award criteria and evaluation basis are not described in the procurement details provided.

For suppliers tracking future AIMS requirements at the College of Policing, this award demonstrates demand for sustained infrastructure and software maintenance combined with continuing development capacity. A credible competitor would need to support the existing platform reliably while adapting deliverables as requirements evolve, and be able to provide development work alongside maintenance rather than treating the work as a one-off software supply. The framework call-off route is also relevant: suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework and the capability to compete within its terms. The award went to Elastic Case Ltd (Quickcase), showing that the buyer selected a specialist supplier for this continuing platform requirement. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for the procurement.
