Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Lancashire Constabulary focuses on the renewal of JML Software for the Force Chronicle contract, covering the period from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2030. The contract is being facilitated under the Bluelight Commercial, Specialist Police Competencies and Assets Framework, leveraging the North West Regional Collaboration for Cloud services. This falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, with the contract valued at £165,689. The selective procurement method involves a call-off from a framework agreement, benefiting businesses located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for large-scale technology companies specialising in software package and information systems to engage in long-term collaboration with a prominent policing institution.
