Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Prison Intelligence Notifications System (PINS) was undertaken by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting on behalf of itself and the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police. This process involved a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency's G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement to Saadian Technologies UK Ltd. The procurement pertains to the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support services. The contract, valued at £118,960.80, commenced on 1st June 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st May 2029, encompassing a contract period upgrade to the existing provisions and cloud-hosting. The award stage of this procurement was completed by 31st May 2026, and the associated details were officially published on 7th July 2026, with the primary location of service delivery being Northallerton, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in software development and cloud-hosting solutions. Companies capable of offering innovative solutions within the secure environment of national policing systems stand to benefit greatly. Given the procurement method utilised—selective call-off from a framework—businesses with pre-existing relationships or approvals within government frameworks such as G-Cloud are particularly well-suited for engagement. This contract offers a robust platform for large-scale IT companies to leverage their specialised services in secure and critical public sector environments, fostering further expansion and partnership opportunities in this sector.
