Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the West Yorkshire Combined Authority as the supplier and The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex as the buyer, focused on "Miscellaneous software development services and computer systems" classified under the industry category of services. The tender, titled "Subscription to the Police National Legal Database," was conducted through a direct award procedure under a national agreement, with a contract signed on 5th March 2026, valued at £30,298.10. Although the procurement process had reached the award stage, the related lot's status was marked as cancelled. The procurement method was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the procurement fell outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in software development services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised computer systems for public safety and legal databases. Companies that can offer competitive pricing and have the capacity to manage direct award contracts under national agreements are well-suited to seek similar opportunities in the future, despite this award being directly granted to West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Given the buyer's focus on public order and safety, firms experienced in these domains would benefit by aligning with the technological and service requirements outlined by public bodies like Sussex Police. Businesses with a large scale and presence in the United Kingdom might find this procurement model advantageous for expanding their footprint in public sector services.
