Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire Police is procuring continued access to an Electronic Items and Property Management System (ePMS), an industry-specific software package for managing electronic items and other property. The system supports the police’s property management requirements and is delivered for Warwickshire Police by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement is for access to cloud software rather than physical equipment. The work is associated with Warwick and the wider Warwickshire area in the West Midlands. The relevant classification is CPV 48100000. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers of property, asset or evidence-management software, particularly providers able to supply a hosted cloud-based system for policing or other operational public-sector environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, rather than being a current competition. Warwickshire Police used a selective direct call-off from the GCA RM1557.14 G Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2 for cloud software, under the PCR 2015-compliant route. The award was made on 13 August 2026 to KIM Software Solutions for £90,000 including the stated contract value, with an annual value of £45,000 plus VAT. The contract runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2027, with an initial 12-month term and an option to extend for a further 12 months. The tender had a submission deadline of 27 April 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

For software suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Warwickshire Police for continuing access to a specialist electronic items and property management system. A credible future competitor would need a mature cloud software product that can manage electronic items and property in a policing environment, together with the implementation, support and service capability needed to maintain reliable operational access. The route used also matters: suppliers seeking comparable work should understand the G Cloud framework and its cloud-software categories, including Lot 2, because framework eligibility is central to this buying route. The successful provider was an SME, indicating that a specialist smaller technology business can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement.
