Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Oxygen Forensic Detective" has been completed, with The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside serving as the buying organisation. The contract focuses on goods within the software package and information systems category, specifically aiming to enhance forensic examination capabilities for the Digital Forensic Unit. The procurement, which took a direct award approach, was conducted under the WYCA (YaTH) Hardware Framework following a 3 Quote exercise. The procurement process was limited and did not involve a prior call for competition, adhering to a rationale outside the scope of the directive. The contract was signed on 26th October 2024 for a value of £11,191.44 and is applicable across the UK.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital forensic software, particularly those with products that cater to law enforcement forensics, such as data extraction and analysis from digital sources like mobile devices and cloud services. Large-scale suppliers with the capability to directly offer niche software solutions, similar to Insight Direct (UK) Limited, which was awarded the contract, will find themselves well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. This procurement underscores the demand for expertise in digital forensics and advanced technological solutions to support criminal investigations.
