Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of HOLMES Licences" involved the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey as the buying organisation, with a focus on procuring goods specifically related to license management software package. The procurement stage is complete with the contract having been signed on 22nd September 2025 for the amount of £214,619.01. This procurement was conducted as a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The delivery of the goods is intended across multiple UK regions, and the project was completed with the assistance of Police Scotland as the lead force. Although one lot was initially planned, it was later cancelled, and one active award was made to Unisys Limited.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in software licensing solutions, particularly those capable of engaging in direct awards under frameworks like the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud. Large-scale firms like Unisys Limited, which was the successful supplier, are well-suited to engage in these types of procurements given the national and specialized nature of the project. Businesses with capabilities in managing software license packages and who can navigate the public procurement landscape—particularly those with existing framework agreements—will find these opportunities fruitful for expansion and establishing high-profile contracts with public law governed bodies.
