Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside has completed a procurement process titled "FC-X LICENCE RENEWAL," within the software-related services category. This procurement involves the renewal of a licence and support for a Radio Frequency kit/software essential for operational needs. The process has reached the award stage, and the contract was signed on 30th July 2025, with a contract value of £5,000. The procurement was executed through a limited method without prior publication, citing protection of intellectual property rights as the rationale. The delivery location is within the United Kingdom, and the procurement aligns with public order and safety industry needs.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those that can provide targeted solutions aligned with public safety and governmental operations. The procurement circumstances, focusing on exclusive rights, suggest that businesses with specialised, proprietary software solutions in radio frequency technology are well-suited to this type of engagement. Large-scale suppliers, like First Forensic Limited, benefit by leveraging existing relationships and exclusive rights to meet the demanding specifications required by public sector clients.
