The contract was awarded to JML Software Solutions Limited, with the procurement method being a direct award via the Bluelight Commercial Framework. The planning phase included the procurement method specification and framework agreement setup on 1st December 2020, with the actual contract period spanning from 1st May 2024 to 31st March 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses equipped to offer comprehensive software solutions and services to large-scale governmental clients. Companies excelling in software development, integration, and IT support, particularly those experienced in public order systems and general training modules, would find this contract appealing. The direct award process indicates a streamlined procurement that might benefit businesses by reducing competition barriers, although it is less suitable for SMEs and VCSEs given the specific technical and financial requirements involved. Businesses capable of delivering complex software solutions seamlessly integrated with existing systems should explore collaborations and build a strong portfolio to compete effectively in similar future tenders.
