Summary of the contracting process

The South West Police Procurement Service has completed a contract award for the provision of the Riven DocDefender IT solution to Softcat PLC. The procurement process was carried out under the HTE ComIT3 Framework as a Direct Award, with compliance to PCR15 regulations. The contract, valued at GBP 78,750, covers IT services including consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and will be executed from 21st March 2025 to 22nd March 2025. The contract entails delivery locations across diverse regions, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, as it demonstrates the demand for robust IT solutions for public sector entities like the police force. While the Direct Award process suggests preference for established entities like Softcat PLC, smaller IT firms can take note of similar future procurement plans under frameworks such as HTE ComIT3. Businesses specializing in software development, consulting, and support services can particularly benefit from exploring similar frameworks and cultivating compliance with public sector tender requirements.
