Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, focusing on the provision of support and maintenance for the LIMA Case Management System. This service is crucial for maintaining the operational capabilities of the Digital Forensics Unit's case management tool, LIMA, which plays a key role in ensuring auditable communication during forensic investigations. The contract, titled "LIMA - Case Management System - Support & Maintenance," falls under the software support services category. The procurement was executed through a direct method, being below the threshold and conducted without competition.

Notice Information

Notice Title

LIMA - Case Management System - Support & Maintenance

Notice Description

The DFU currently use LIMA as its case management tool, allowing officers to submit a request via the LIMA portal for all digital devices requiring examining. During analysis by the DFU all updates are via the Lima case system, which allows communications to be auditable. This is a requirement of the DFU's forensic accreditation (ISO 17025:2017). As with any proprietary systems, software support and maintenance is necessary to cover any issues that arise and ensure that reduction in functionality does not impact upon live investigations.
