Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police has completed a procurement process for a Covert Management System Software under the CPV code 48000000, which includes software packages and information systems. This procurement was enacted through a direct award mechanism via the Procurement Services framework agreement Y23065. The tender was a selective process, allowing participation through a framework call-off. The awarded value of the contract amounts to £316,180.86 and covers the regions of England, Scotland, and Wales. The contract period is set from 17th July 2026 to 16th July 2029, and was awarded to PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED on 10th July 2026.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for large-scale software companies, particularly those specialising in software solutions for information systems. The direct award process highlights the importance of being listed within framework agreements to qualify for such procurement opportunities. Although this specific process did not target SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms can leverage such selective procurement methods to expand their governmental and security sector portfolios. The contract's regional scope across the United Kingdom also suggests further opportunities for companies with the capability to manage and deliver software solutions at a multi-regional level.
