Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary, located in Preston, has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the Idera SQL Performance Suite from Softcat Plc. This award, valued at £17,998.64, pertains to software package and information systems under the CPV code 48000000, and was executed through a call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions Framework 2. The award process reached the completion stage, with the active award announced on 1st June 2026. The contract, valid from 9th August 2026 to 8th August 2029, will be executed in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for established software companies, particularly those proficient in delivering large-scale and specialised IT solutions similar to those undertaken by Softcat Plc. Given its specific nature and existing framework conditions, it is less suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), but presents a lucrative opportunity for companies capable of supporting and enhancing software performance solutions on a regional level. Engaging in such contracts can substantially bolster a company’s portfolio and credibility within the information systems industry.
