The procurement, initially tendered in June 2024, was conducted under an open procedure and was classified under the "Software package and information systems" category (CPV code 48000000). The procurement aimed to find a replacement for Northumbria Police's existing software, with the location of supply being the North East England region (UKC). The tender stage was active from its announcement on 4th June 2024 until the submission deadline on 4th July 2024. Subsequently, the contract was awarded to David Horn Communications Ltd on 2nd January 2025, with a total value of GBP 634,524. The procurement process is now in the award stage.
