Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon and Cornwall Police procured Pimloc Secure Redact software, supplied through software licence reseller Phoenix Software Ltd. The purchase is for software rather than a service or works contract, with delivery in the South West of England. The stated purpose is to provide the police force with Secure Redact; no further functional scope is described. Phoenix Software Ltd supplied the software as the selected reseller. This is a focused software licensing requirement for a police buyer, rather than a general software development or IT support commission.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. on 16 September 2026. The award value is £153,765. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The purchase was made as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The tender’s submission deadline was 16 September 2026. The process concerns a single software requirement, with no lots identified. The published data gives no account of the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored, so the award basis cannot be described further. The recorded contract period and award relate to the provision of Pimloc Secure Redact software for Devon and Cornwall Police.

For suppliers assessing future requirements from Devon and Cornwall Police, this award demonstrates demand for Pimloc Secure Redact software procured through a software licence reseller and a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to supply this specific software or have a route to licence and resell it, and be capable of fulfilling a police force’s software licensing requirement. The award went to Phoenix Software Ltd., a large supplier, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. These details indicate the commercial route and supplier profile that succeeded; the source does not set out technical, accreditation, staffing or performance requirements, so none can be inferred. The opportunity is relevant to software resellers able to support this product and framework-based public sector purchasing.
