Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Provision of Network Maintenance was conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire. This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically for the maintenance of data network equipment, and is situated in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage following a direct award via the Northamptonshire Police ICT Framework. The completion date of the award process was on the 3rd of March 2026, and the contract was duly signed on the 30th of January 2026. The procurement was done through a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by its compliance and specific IT framework arrangement. One contract lot was cancelled; however, an active contract worth £1,880,000 was awarded to Softcat Plc for related services in multiple UK regions.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in network support and maintenance services, especially large suppliers with robust capabilities in data network equipment upkeep. Notably, the possibility of an extension for two additional years could provide long-term engagement and revenue for well-suited suppliers who can deliver competitive service rates and maintain high standards of service delivery. Suppliers with existing frameworks or experience working within police ICT environments may find this procurement advantageous, leveraging their market position in offering structured maintenance services for law enforcement agencies across various UK regions.
