Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "CT PINS" contract has been completed by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority on behalf of Greater Manchester Police, focusing on IT services within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKD3 region. The main procurement category is services, aimed at developing a Prisoner Information Notification System. The process utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, executed through the Crown Commercial Services Framework, GCloud 14. The contract, valued at £91,400, was awarded to Saadian Technologies UK Ltd on 27 August 2025 under the award procedure label "D_OUTSIDE_SCOPE," signifying that the procurement falls outside the scope of certain directives.

This tender represents significant potential for business growth, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT consulting and software development. Businesses with expertise in configuring and supporting large-scale information systems might find the opportunity aligned with their capabilities. By being part of the Crown Commercial Services Framework, subsequent contracts and collaborations with regional or local authorities like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority can lead to recurring opportunities. The award to Saadian Technologies UK Ltd, an SME located in London, exemplifies the type of business suitably positioned to capitalise on these opportunities within the public sector domain.
