Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime in London has awarded a contract for the CRIMINT Support and Maintenance, a criminal intelligence database, to SAS Software Ltd. The procurement, which falls under the services category of IT consulting, software development, Internet, and support, was executed through a direct award method, owing to SAS Software Ltd owning the intellectual property rights for the licence. This procurement, identified under the ocid "ocds-h6vhtk-066a77", is valued at approximately £1,619,348 (net). The award is currently pending, with the standstill period set to end on 17th July 2026. The contract period begins on 18th July 2026 and runs until 6th April 2027. The procurement process is at the award stage, with all related activities completed as per schedule.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced in supporting complex software solutions and managing intellectual property rights. Although the direct award limits competition here, businesses equipped with the requisite technological capabilities and domain expertise could position themselves for future opportunities in similar projects, especially if new contracts demand fresh licensing or system enhancements. Such projects often require scalable operational capacity and could be highly beneficial to medium and large-scale enterprises aiming to establish a foothold in public sector contracts, particularly those located in or near the UKI region.
