Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Police procured software services for managing vehicles recovered from the roadside, including vehicles involved in seizures and related operations. The requirement is an IT system supporting the management of these vehicles. The work is to be delivered in the North West of England. The main category is software and information systems, covering the provision and operation of the vehicle recovery management service. This is a buyer-specific requirement for Greater Manchester Police, rather than a general software supply arrangement. The system’s purpose is to help the police manage recovered vehicles through the relevant operational processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 June 2026 to WPC Software Limited. The award value is £170,026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The original tender deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the CCS GCloud 14 framework. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active, and the contract period matches the planned delivery period. Greater Manchester Police is the buyer and WPC Software Limited is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement within Greater Manchester Police for specialist software supporting roadside vehicle recovery, seizures and associated vehicle management. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need a product or service that directly handles these operational workflows, rather than a general-purpose IT system. Credibility would come from proven capability in vehicle recovery or fleet-related case management, dependable software delivery and the capacity to support a police organisation throughout a multi-year service period. The procurement route also shows that access to the relevant CCS GCloud framework and experience competing through framework call-offs would be commercially important. The opportunity was marked as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, while not being marked as suitable for SMEs.
