UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Northumbria has initiated a procurement process for an Applicant Tracking System aimed at enhancing their recruitment processes with modern technologies. This procurement is in the tender stage, following an open competitive flexible procedure. The contracting authority, based in Newcastle, UK, aims to contract a service provider within the IT sector, specifically focusing on IT services involving consulting, software development, and internet and support. Businesses interested in submitting proposals should be aware of key deadlines, with the enquiry period concluding on 3rd April 2026 and tender submissions ending on 9th April 2026. The procurement's estimated value is set at £948,000, with further opportunities for contract extensions beyond the initial period ending in December 2030.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in applicant tracking systems and recruitment process optimisation. The open procedure invites participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing a level playing field for competitive bids. Participating businesses will benefit not only from the substantial contract value but also from the chance to establish or strengthen a relationship with a sub-central government authority, potentially leading to further engagements. Companies with a track record of innovative and reliable solutions in this domain will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The process involves an accelerated evaluation where top-scoring bidders will have the chance to demonstrate their solutions, which could adjust initial scores and create further opportunities for demonstrating value.
