The procurement fell under the services category, specifically focusing on evaluation consultancy services (CPV code 79419000) and was conducted in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The award stage of the procurement process has been reached, with the contract awarded to Wavehill Ltd and valued at £65,825. The tender process, which employed a limited procurement method, concluded on 21st July 2025, with the contract period spanning from 13th August 2025 to 20th March 2026.

Companies with expertise in evaluation and consultancy within the violence reduction domain are particularly well-suited to this opportunity. The emphasis on competitive quotations indicates that businesses capable of offering high-quality services at competitive prices will be well-positioned to succeed in similar future opportunities with Sussex Police and other public sector bodies.
