Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service has successfully completed the procurement process for a Competency Management System. The procurement falls under the IT services category with the CPV code 72000000, focusing on consulting, software development, and internet support. Based in London, UK, the process concluded with an award on 1st September 2025, resulting in a contract activation. This procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically utilising the G-Cloud 14 framework via a procedure without prior publication due to its exemption from the directive's scope. The awarded contract, valued at £329,290, is pivotal for the functionality of a system designed to record and report on all competencies activities within the organisation.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those adept at providing software solutions and support for public security applications. As the procurement was part of the G-Cloud framework, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as SQEPtech Ltd, which was awarded the contract, can particularly benefit by leveraging their niche expertise in developing and implementing such systems. Companies positioned within the IT consultancy space can find substantial growth prospects by aligning with the specific needs of large public sector organisations like the Metropolitan Police Service, demonstrating their capability to handle projects that require integration of diverse competencies across strategic platforms.
