Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of an Applicant Tracking System was undertaken by the Police Digital Service, headquartered at 20 Gresham Street, London, England. This procurement, classified under Software Supply Services (CPV code 72268000), falls within the services category and involves the UK as the delivery location. The process was initiated using a restricted quotation method, specifically a competitive quotation process below the threshold, indicating a limited procurement approach. The tender was completed, transitioning from a tender to an award stage, with key dates including the conclusion of the tender period on 16 March 2026 and the commencement of the contract period on 29 April 2026, lasting until 28 April 2029. The total contract value amounts to £43,500 GBP.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software solutions for recruitment and candidate management. Despite the competitive quotation method, smaller businesses, such as SMEs, may find this opportunity accessible due to its suitability criteria. The awarded supplier, Teamtailor Ltd, based in London, reflects the competitive edge large firms may possess in delivering scalable software services. Companies in the tech industry looking to expand their clientele in the public sector may find similar opportunities fruitful, particularly those with a focus on providing comprehensive, support-focused software packages that enhance organisational recruitment processes.
