Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham has completed the procurement process for the development of a "Back Office Facility (BOF1) ANPR Back Office Management System S&M", a key software used by police to process data from Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras. The procurement process concluded on 15th January 2026 with a contract awarded to Cleartone Telecoms Limited. This procurement falls under the "goods" category within the industry classification related to database systems, and was executed as a direct procurement below the competitive threshold. The contract, valued at £39,385.20 inclusive of all charges, is set to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, serving the region identified as UKC1 in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business development opportunities, particularly for SMEs operating in the IT and software sectors, specifically those with a capability in database systems and policing technologies. The contract, awarded through a non-competitive, direct procurement method, underscores the potential for businesses specialising in niche technologies like ANPR management software to secure government contracts without undergoing extensive tender processes. Companies that can produce advanced technological solutions catering to public safety and law enforcement needs are particularly well-suited to explore such opportunities, providing a valuable chance to establish their credentials and showcase their expertise within the public sector.
