Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex has concluded the procurement process for "Oracle Premier Support," focusing on miscellaneous software packages and computer systems within the region of UKJ. The contract, which is in the final award stage, involved a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to the specific nature of the requirement. The support and maintenance services for Oracle Databases were awarded to Oracle Limited on 19th March 2025, with the contract valued at GBP 208,982.44. The procurement falls outside the scope of traditional directives, necessitating a unique approach due to the proprietary nature of the software and the impossibility of obtaining it from alternative sources.
