Summary of the contracting process

Robiquity Limited procured a delivery partner to implement automation for Essex and Kent Police using Microsoft Power Platform, incorporating robotic process automation (RPA). The requirement is for automation systems, software development and related information technology services. The work is associated with Chelmsford and the wider East of England. This is a services contract rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. A supplier would therefore need to provide practical implementation capability, developing and deploying automated processes on the Microsoft Power Platform and supporting the police organisations’ operational requirements. The named procurement buyer is Robiquity Limited, while the requirement description identifies Essex and Kent Police as the organisations requiring the automation delivery partner.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Robiquity Limited was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026 for £443,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 5pm. The tender’s estimated value was also £443,000. The award is active and the successful supplier is Robiquity Limited. The published information identifies the contract as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. It does not state separate lots or an evaluation weighting, so the available process detail is limited to the framework call-off route and the completed award.

For a supplier assessing future work with this buyer, this award demonstrates demand for a substantial, multi-year automation implementation using Microsoft Power Platform and RPA in a policing context. Credible competitors would need the technical capability to design, develop, integrate and deploy automated workflows, together with experience delivering software development and broader IT services. They would also need sufficient organisational capacity for a requirement judged unsuitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the ability to support delivery across Essex and Kent Police requirements. Experience translating operational processes into secure, maintainable automation would strengthen a future proposition, as would evidence of managing implementation, user adoption and ongoing service support for public-sector or similarly controlled environments.
