Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex involves the provision of a 3-year Niksun Report Scheduler software licence, NetXperts software licence, and NetDetectorlive3 appliance support. This procurement is classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems, with the main procurement category being goods. Although the procurement has been tagged as 'complete', the process progressed without a prior call for competition due to exclusive rights held by the supplier. Located in the South East (region UKJ), this award was signed on 26th September 2025, marking the conclusion of the tender with RED HELIX LIMITED as the chosen supplier.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in niche software solutions and support services, especially those with proprietary or exclusive rights in the provision of essential security and information system tools. Companies like RED HELIX LIMITED, who meet these criteria, are well-suited to compete and secure similar contracts, enhancing their growth potential and market presence through strategic collaborations with public sector entities. The limited procurement method illustrates that knowledge of specialised software and applicable exclusive agreements can be key in obtaining future contracts of similar nature, particularly within public order and safety sectors.
