Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought LongArm software licences, classified as software-related services. The requirement is for licences rather than a described software development or implementation project. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Ministry of Justice, based in London. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns software licensing for the Ministry; the published scope does not break down licence quantities, users, modules or technical functions. Its broad delivery coverage indicates that the licences may serve users across multiple territories, rather than being tied to a single named site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Internet Investigation Solutions Limited was selected through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract runs from 23 August 2026 to 22 August 2028. The awarded value is £67,063.04. The original tender deadline was 18 August 2026. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not state a separate quality or price scoring formula, so the specific basis used to compare framework suppliers cannot be identified. This outcome records one supplier and one award; the procurement was not divided into separately described lots.

This award shows the Ministry of Justice has recurring demand for LongArm software licences, procured through a framework call-off, and that a small or medium-sized supplier was able to win. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply the relevant LongArm licences and demonstrate that it can support use across the buyer’s broad geographic footprint, including the UK and overseas territories. Framework membership and the ability to compete effectively in a call-off are commercially important to this route. The award concerns licensing, not a stated requirement for software development or a wider IT transformation, so suppliers focused on those services alone may be less closely matched. The purchase provides evidence of demand for this specific software product and its licensing, rather than general software services.
