Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service recently completed a procurement process for the acquisition of social media monitoring software licenses, which was conducted as a further competition under the H.T.E. ComIT3 framework. This procurement falls under the category of industry-specific software packages, with a total value of £125,875.55. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender phase concluded on 27th June 2025, and the contract was awarded on 4th July 2025 to XMA LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in the United Kingdom. The contract is set to begin on 7th July 2025 and will run through until 6th July 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in industry-specific software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering sophisticated social media monitoring tools. While the framework agreement indicates a highly selective process, companies that can demonstrate robust capabilities in software provision to law enforcement agencies like the Metropolitan Police Service could find considerable prospects for growth. Firms that are experienced in working within frameworks and providing scalable solutions will be best positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
