Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting for itself and the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, procured renewal of a Progress Kemp software licence and continuation of the existing provisions. This is a software and information-systems service, delivered for the authorities in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. The requirement concerns maintaining an existing licensing arrangement rather than introducing a new software platform or a wider implementation. Businesses relevant to this type of work include software licensing specialists, technology resellers and suppliers able to provide Progress Kemp licence renewals and associated continuation of established provisions for public-sector organisations. The requirement serves the combined authority and North Yorkshire Police, with the delivery address recorded at North Yorkshire Police HQ in Northallerton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 August 2026 to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The award value is £38,924.06. The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2029. The process used a selective procedure and was described as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically a direct award through the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Framework, Lot 4. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 23:59. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The award covers the Progress Kemp licence renewal and continuation of existing provisions under a multiyear agreement. The award is active, with the buyer acting for both the combined authority and the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication that York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and North Yorkshire Police use a framework route for renewing established Progress Kemp licensing. A credible future competitor would need to supply Progress Kemp licences, support continuity of existing provisions and operate effectively within a public-sector framework call-off. Experience in licence renewal and managing continuing software entitlements would be directly relevant. The requirement is suited to established technology resellers or software licensing specialists rather than organisations offering unrelated software, general consultancy or new-system development. The buyer’s use of a multiyear arrangement also indicates that suppliers should be able to support an ongoing licensing relationship for the authority and police force.
