The procurement process for the “ACOS Support Renewal” contract, managed by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, focused on database software support and maintenance within the "Software package and information systems" industry category. The contract, valued at £71,072, was awarded to Altia Solutions Limited and is set between 1st October 2025 and 30th September 2027.
