Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk Constabulary procured an AI-assisted application called “Statements”. The requirement falls within software-related services and concerns the provision of an application rather than physical goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with the East of England, including the location identified by postcode NR18 0WW. Norfolk Constabulary is the buying organisation. The stated purpose is to support statement-related activity through an AI-assisted app, although the published description does not break down the functions, integrations, implementation tasks or support arrangements. Businesses relevant to this requirement would therefore be software providers able to supply or configure AI-enabled applications for policing or other public-sector operational use, with the technical scope needing to be established from the procurement’s supporting requirements.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 August 2026 to Softcat plc. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The awarded contract value is £59,200 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 21 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The recorded evaluation basis is the selection through the relevant framework call-off process; no separate quality, price or weighting criteria are stated in the available procurement data. Norfolk Constabulary is the buyer and Softcat plc is the selected supplier. The opportunity was not divided into separately reported lots.

This award indicates a defined requirement within Norfolk Constabulary for an AI-assisted application supporting statement-related work, procured through a framework call-off. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need credible capability in software-related services, AI-enabled application delivery and the configuration or supply of tools suitable for operational policing environments. They would also need to understand public-sector procurement through framework agreements and be able to meet the governance, security, assurance and implementation expectations that commonly accompany police technology, subject to the buyer’s detailed requirements. The selected supplier’s role provides a useful benchmark for businesses assessing their own ability to deliver an application-led technology service to a police organisation, rather than a general software resale or unrelated artificial-intelligence opportunity.
