Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed is for the renewal of Cellebrite licences, with the contracting authority being The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire. This contract falls under the "Security software package" industry category and covers the delivery within the East of England, specifically Bedford, postal code MK43 9AX, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is the awarding phase, with the contract having been awarded to Softcat plc as of 1st June 2026, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period extends from 1st June 2026 to 31st July 2027, with a total contract value of £205,030.25.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in security software solutions. Though the procurement was selective, businesses with existing framework agreements should consider positioning themselves for future similar opportunities. Companies that can deliver bespoke software solutions at a competitive price and are capable of fulfilling regional contract requirements, such as those in the East of England, stand a strong chance of furthering their business with similar procurement needs from governing and law enforcement bodies.
