Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured an enterprise service management (ESM) solution: an IT software package to be implemented and delivered for its operational needs. The requirement covers the introduction and delivery of a new ESM platform rather than a standalone software licence. The buying organisation is the Scottish Police Authority, based in Glasgow, and delivery is in Scotland. The contract concerns one overall requirement, with electronic ordering and electronic payment built into the contract arrangements. It is relevant to suppliers of enterprise service management software, implementation partners and organisations able to provide associated delivery and support services for a public-sector customer.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Halo Service Solutions Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 20 August 2026 for £5,417,395. The contract period is 3,600 days, with a stated five-year term and an option for the Authority to extend it through five further periods of up to 12 months each. The competition used an open procedure. Tenders were evaluated on technical quality at 60% and price at 40%. The submission deadline was 18 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids required to remain valid for 180 days. Five bids were received, including three from SMEs, and all five were submitted electronically.

This award demonstrates demand from a Scottish public authority for a substantial, long-term enterprise service management implementation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established ESM software product, the implementation capability to introduce it into a complex public-sector environment, and the capacity to provide dependable delivery and ongoing service support. Financial resilience is important: the stated requirements included employers’ liability insurance of £10 million, public and product liability insurance of £5 million, professional indemnity including technology errors and omissions of £5 million, and cyber security liability insurance of £10 million. Suppliers would also need sound financial standing, accurate company records and the ability to satisfy public-sector assurance requirements.
