Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting on behalf of West Yorkshire Police, procured a forensic case management system. This is specialist software for managing forensic casework. The work is for West Yorkshire Police and is delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The buyer is the Combined Authority; the police force is the organisation on whose behalf it acted.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. NEC Software Solutions UK Limited won the contract, awarded on 1 October 2026, for £366,000. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The estimated value range was £122,000 to £366,000. The Combined Authority used a selective framework call-off under the GCA RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. This was a services procurement. The published data does not set out evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from West Yorkshire Police for a specialist forensic case management system, procured by the Combined Authority through a call-off from the GCA RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. Suppliers well placed to compete when this requirement next comes to market will need to provide software suited to forensic casework and be able to deliver a police-focused system through this framework route. The award went to a large supplier, and the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement best matched by an established supplier with the capacity to support a substantial, specialist software contract.
