Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex has completed a procurement process for the provision of Clio licences, classified under miscellaneous software package and computer systems (CPV code: 48900000). This procurement, identified as ocds-h6vhtk-04efc9, involved a direct award process without prior publication due to the specific intellectual property rights held by Altia Solutions Limited. The three-year contract, valued at £55,182 GBP, was signed on 20th February 2025, with the delivery location specified in the UK regions (UKJ). Noteworthy, the procurement falls outside the scope of standard directives and was handled as a limited procurement method.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those looking to secure contracts within the public safety sector. The sole supplier, Altia Solutions Limited, highlights the need for businesses with unique, proprietary solutions or those capable of offering exclusive products. Companies in the software industry with expertise in law enforcement and public safety domains would be particularly well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, provided they own the necessary intellectual property or have strong partnerships enabling exclusive offerings.
