Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire Police procured CycComms services through a public sector purchasing arrangement. The requirement is described as a call-off for the provision of CycComms, classified under CPV 98390000, which covers other services. The work is associated with Leicester, England, and is for Leicestershire Police as the buying organisation. The procurement is categorised as services rather than goods or works. CycComms is the named service requirement, so businesses with an offering that matches this specification, and with experience of supplying public sector organisations, are the most directly relevant potential competitors. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s requirement is not restricted to large commercial providers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Leicestershire Police used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically CCS G-Cloud 14. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 31 August 2026 to GEOFF SMITH ASSOCIATES LIMITED, an SME, at £249,464.29 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The available process information identifies the framework call-off route and the selected supplier; it does not set out separate lots or a detailed quality, price or other scoring breakdown. The award therefore records the outcome of a selective framework-based procurement.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates that Leicestershire Police purchases CycComms as a defined service through the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide CycComms, meet the relevant framework conditions and operate effectively as a public sector service provider. The successful supplier was an SME, while the requirement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This suggests that scale alone is not the defining competitive position. Businesses should focus on a clear service offer, evidence that they can deliver the specified CycComms requirement for a police buyer, and readiness to compete through the applicable framework call-off process.
