Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex has completed the award stage of a contracting process titled "Provision of Trend Software" under the Healthtrust Europe CommIT framework. This procurement, classified under the industry category of "Miscellaneous software package and computer systems" with CPV code 48900000, involves the acquisition of Trend Software for a 36-month period. The software is designated for use within the UK South East region (UKJ), and the procurement method applied was "Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition," due to Softcat PLC being the exclusive UK reseller of this software. The contract, valued at £73,465.03, was signed on 30th May 2025, with the entire process now marked as complete.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities in the software and IT services market, particularly for large firms capable of managing exclusive distribution rights or those experienced in providing specialised software packages. As the tender was awarded under a limited procurement process due to intellectual property rights protection, businesses with such exclusive arrangements or those seeking partnerships with authorised resellers could find similar opportunities within such procurement frameworks. Companies matching the profile of Softcat PLC, possessing significant scale and regional presence, would be well-suited to engage in future tenders of this nature.
