Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, overseen by Sussex Police, involves the supply of specialist workstations for the Digital Forensic Team. The procurement falls under the computer equipment and supplies industry category, with a particular focus on desktop computers. The delivery is expected to take place at Surrey Police HQ and Sussex Police HQ, and the procurement stage has reached the award phase as of 9th January 2026. The total contract value is £548,464.80, and the contractual period is set from 12th January 2026 to 11th January 2027. XMA Limited has been awarded the contract, demonstrating their competency in delivering such specialised equipment. The tender was conducted using a competitive process identified as 'Other', indicating bespoke competition conditions for this extensive purchase.

This procurement provides significant business growth potential for companies specialising in the provision of high-end computer equipment and services, especially those experienced with public sector contracts. Although the opportunity was specifically tailored for bulk purchases, businesses with capacity to deliver and support such contracts will particularly benefit, highlighting an essential market for technology-driven enterprises capable of managing warranty and support services over extended periods. While the contract was not specifically marked for SME or VCSE, larger enterprises with a track record of supplying to law enforcement agencies or similar entities may find additional opportunities in future tenders inspired by this one.
