Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands, located in Birmingham, initiated a procurement process for the maintenance of the Detained Property System. The procurement falls under the industry category of computer-related services and is catalogued under CPV code 72500000. It was executed via a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to its proprietary nature. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 1st September 2025 to PDMS Business Solutions, for a value of £93,788 GBP. The service covers numerous regions in the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, reflecting a wide sphere of service delivery.

This tender offers significant opportunities for service-oriented businesses, notably those specialising in IT support and maintenance for public safety sectors. Given the nature of the procurement and the industry's specifications, businesses with expertise in computer-related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) familiar with public sector requirements, would find this contract advantageous for expanding their portfolio and footprint in regional markets across the UK. Moreover, understanding the specialised requirements of the public order and safety sector could provide invaluable leverage in competing for such tenders.
