Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Police Headquarters commissioned specialist reporting and data-modelling services to establish a Microsoft Fabric reporting foundation and deliver the Niche Standard Occurrence data model. The work supports the force’s use of Niche occurrence data for reporting. It is a software-related service requirement, rather than a purchase of IT hardware, despite being called off from an IT hardware framework. Delivery is identified as Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based in Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. The award was made on 19 September 2026, with a contract period from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. The awarded value is £288,650. The original estimated tender value was £280,650. The contract was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was classified as services and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement data.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand from South Yorkshire Police Headquarters, this award demonstrates a requirement for specialist reporting and data-modelling capability around Microsoft Fabric and Niche Standard Occurrence data. A credible competitor would need to show it can establish a reporting foundation and deliver a usable, well-structured occurrence data model for a police force, as well as work through a framework call-off route. The selected supplier was a large company, and the procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises; businesses should therefore assess whether they have the scale and relevant delivery experience to compete for a requirement of this kind. The work is a focused data and reporting engagement, not general IT hardware supply.
