Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex is initiating a procurement process in the planning stage for a potential tender concerning a password manager solution. This procurement activity is centred around the engagement phase and is part of a public authority at the sub-central government level. The process involves a request for information to gain insights and identify existing solutions, which may inform a future tender. The procurement falls within the software package and information systems industry, with a focus on computer and networking software. The engagement milestone is scheduled to be completed by the 22nd of May 2025. The delivery is intended for the region of UKJ in the United Kingdom, with procurement targeting to start in August 2025 and conclude by July 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software package and information systems, particularly those providing networking software and miscellaneous computer systems. The procurement process is designed to support and facilitate small and medium enterprises (SMEs), making it highly suitable for businesses in this category. As the process develops from the information-gathering phase, companies well-versed in innovative password management solutions should prepare to showcase their offerings, thereby positioning themselves as potential contractors to the buying organisation. Engaging early through this preliminary request for information could provide strategic insights and allow businesses to tailor their proposals to meet the requirements of any subsequent tender.
