Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire procured a command-and-control solution for Nottinghamshire Police. The requirement covers a robust, future-proof operational system aligned with policing needs, improving efficiency, performance, operational intelligence, resource deployment, decision-making, service delivery, data accuracy, accessibility and communications. The solution must support crime prevention, protection from harm, responses to community needs, and timely support for victims and communities. It must integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure and support continuous improvement across relevant departments. This is a public-sector IT services requirement covering consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). Delivery is for Nottinghamshire Police in Nottinghamshire, England. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire.

The procurement is complete and awarded under an open competitive flexible procedure. One lot was awarded to SSS Public Safety Limited on 22 May 2026, with an awarded value of £14,579,293.20 excluding VAT, or £17,495,151.84 including VAT. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 28 February 2034, with two optional 24-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 28 February 2038. The estimated lot value was £15,000,000 excluding VAT, or £18,000,000 including VAT. The process used three stages: conditions of participation, demonstrations and price evaluation, then legal finalisation and award. Evaluation weighted demonstrations at 40% and price at 60%.

This award demonstrates demand from a police force for an integrated command-and-control platform rather than a standalone software product. Credible future competitors will need strong public-safety or mission-critical systems experience, with the ability to configure and implement operational command-and-control functionality, integrate with existing infrastructure, and support multiple policing departments. Suppliers should be able to provide hardware where required, licensing, maintenance, technical support and continuous improvement throughout a long-term service relationship. Demonstrable product capability is particularly important: the successful evaluation required suppliers to evidence functionality through mandatory demonstrations, not written responses alone. Businesses should also be prepared for a structured, multi-stage competition involving participation gateways, demonstrations, pricing and contract terms, and should be able to measure incident volumes and resolution times against agreed performance targets.
