UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of three Cellebrite Responder & Commander kits, under the title "POLIT Responder". This procurement falls under the "goods" category, specifically IT software packages. Located in Maidstone, Kent, the purchasing authority carried out a limited procurement method due to the below-threshold value, which allowed for limited competition. The contract was signed on 24th April 2025, and the delivery period extends from 1st May 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £23,652, within which the net amount is £19,710.

This tender offers notable opportunities for businesses specialising in IT hardware and software solutions, particularly those capable of providing law enforcement utility technology. Companies that can efficiently deliver specialised IT equipment and software could find growth, especially if they have prior experience in working with governmental or sub-central public authorities. Given the limited procurement method, businesses that quickly cultivate a relationship with buyers such as the Kent Police can gain a competitive edge in future bidding processes.
