Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire Constabulary procured a geographic information system (GIS) and modelling software package. The purchase is classified as goods and covers software, rather than a described software implementation or support service. Delivery is associated with the North West of England. The procurement’s classification also spans industry-specific software, networking and internet software, document and drawing tools, business applications, communications and multimedia, databases and operating systems, software utilities, and information systems and servers. This indicates a broad software-package classification, but the stated requirement itself is GIS and modelling software. The buyer is Cheshire Constabulary.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited. The award was made on 19 June 2026, with a value of £45,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement range was £45,000 to £60,000; the awarded value is £45,000. One item is listed, with no division into lots. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 1pm. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not give a separate evaluation weighting or technical eligibility threshold.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows that Cheshire Constabulary buys GIS and modelling software through a framework call-off, at a scale represented by a £45,000 award for a three-year contract. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply software that directly meets geographic information and modelling needs, and be capable of competing through the relevant framework route. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so smaller software suppliers may be relevant competitors where they can meet the buyer’s needs and framework conditions. The awarded supplier is a large software company, evidence that an established supplier was selected, but the published requirement does not state particular accreditations, technical qualifications, staffing levels or prior experience criteria.
