Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey involved the provision of HOLMES Licences, primarily classified under the industry category of license management software packages. This contract was a national solution with Police Scotland as the lead force, aimed at providing these licences across the UK. The process employed a direct award method under the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud Framework, bypassing the need for a prior publication of a competitive call for applications. The procurement, identified by the procurement ID ocds-h6vhtk-05a8af, concluded with an active contract awarded to UNISYS LIMITED on 22nd September 2025, amounting to GBP 182,335.99.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to engage with public sector contracts, particularly those providing specialised software solutions. Given the nature of the tender as a direct award under the G-Cloud Framework, it is especially relevant for businesses experienced in navigating government procurement frameworks and possessing existing relationships within public sector ICT provisions. Large-scale suppliers like UNISYS LIMITED, capable of handling expansive national requirements and integrating with existing public sector systems, are particularly well-suited for such tenders.
