Summary of the contracting process

The Police And Crime Commissioner for Durham has completed a procurement process for the title "Agresso - Licences, Support & Maintenance," classified under the IT software package industry (CPV code 48517000). This contract, focused on goods, was awarded via a limited procurement method without prior publication, falling outside the typical directive's scope. The contract, with an active status, was signed on 20th May 2025, with SOFTCAT PLC, a large-scale supplier based in Buckinghamshire, appointed as the supplier. The buying organisation is located in Durham (region UKC14), representing a public order and safety body. The procurement process was completed within the framework Software Products and Associated Services - Y23065, with services beginning on 1st May 2025 and potential extension options beyond the original end date of 30th April 2028.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for enterprises capable of supplying comprehensive IT software solutions on a large scale. Companies specialising in enterprise resource planning software will find growth opportunities in fulfilling similar public sector contracts. Suppliers with a robust track record in supporting public law or safety bodies, like SOFTCAT PLC, are well-suited for such engagements. Despite the award procedure being closed, understanding the framework and procurement channels utilised could position new suppliers strategically for future invitations to similar contracts within the public sector. Leveraging networks within public safety and order organisations will likely enhance a supplier's competitive edge in this domain.
