Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has completed the procurement process for the provision of central logging software and support. The awarded contract, which falls under the industry category of IT services encompassing consulting, software development, Internet, and support (CPV code 72000000), has been granted to Badger Software. Located in London, UK, this procurement was executed without prior publication, based on exclusive rights protection justifications as per Regulation 32(1)(b)(ii)(iii) of The Public Contract Regulations. The contract, valued at £332,000, was signed on 18th February 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those adept in developing and supporting logging software. Although the procurement method was limited and aimed at a sole supplier due to exclusive rights, other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can glean insight into potential future opportunities by monitoring such specific needs in the public sector. This underscores the importance of maintaining competitive and innovative solutions that align with the technical and intellectual property requirements set by public authorities like MOPAC and MPS.
