Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary procured the renewal of the Idera SQL Performance Suite, a software package used for SQL database performance management and related information systems. The requirement is for software licensing or subscription provision rather than works or an onsite service. Delivery is for the North West of England. The buying organisation is Lancashire Constabulary. The procurement concerns a specific technology product and its continued use within the constabulary’s information systems environment. The named requirement is the Idera SQL Performance Suite, and the arrangement uses Softcat as the technology supplier for provision through an established public-sector purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Lancashire Constabulary used a selective call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions Framework 2, rather than an open tender. The contract was awarded to Softcat Plc on 1 June 2026 for £17,998.64 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 9 August 2026 to 8 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. It was classified as a goods procurement for software packages and information systems. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows a defined requirement for continued SQL performance-management software within Lancashire Constabulary, at a modest three-year scale, purchased through a technology framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need authorised access to the Idera SQL Performance Suite, the ability to supply and renew software entitlements, and familiarity with public-sector framework purchasing. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established software resellers, licensing specialists or framework-appointed technology providers with the administrative capacity to manage a direct call-off and maintain continuity of supply. The award to a large technology supplier indicates that product access, dependable account management and compliant framework delivery are important commercial capabilities for this requirement.
