Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Police procured a prisoner information notification system for use by the prison service. The software is intended to notify relevant users about prison movements and associated information. This is a software and information systems service, delivered for prison-related operations in the North West of England. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Police. The requirement concerns the provision and operation of a digital notification solution rather than general policing services, construction or physical goods. It is relevant to suppliers of secure information systems, notification platforms, case-management integrations and other software used to exchange operational information between police and custodial services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Saadian Technologies UK Ltd. It used a selective call-off from the CCS GCloud 14 framework, with bids closing on 1 August 2026 at 10:00. The awarded value is £342,746. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. This outcome identifies the route used by Greater Manchester Police and the scale and duration of the contract for a prisoner movement notification system.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Greater Manchester Police buys specialist digital systems for prison movement notifications through a government technology framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a secure, reliable software platform capable of sending timely notifications and handling operational information relevant to prison movements. Experience of public-sector, police, custodial or other sensitive information environments would strengthen a proposition, alongside demonstrable information security, resilience, support and integration capability. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through an established framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a focused technology provider may be well placed to compete.
