Summary of the contracting process

The Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority has successfully completed a procurement process for a subscription to IHS membership services without competition, under the UK legal framework 2023/54. This process, classified under miscellaneous membership organisations services, was finalised with the contracting stage on 13th March 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £47,085.00 and spans three years from 15th May 2026 to 14th May 2029, covering the region of UKH3 in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage of this tender is marked as complete, ensuring continuity of service provision by the identified supplier.

This non-competitive procurement method provides an advantageous scenario for large-scale enterprises, such as Allium UK Holding Limited, which has been awarded the contract due to its established capacity to deliver the required services. The nature of this contract offers business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in membership services, particularly those with a robust infrastructure capable of supporting public sector requirements efficiently. Businesses seeking to broaden their client base within the public authority domain are well positioned to benefit from similar opportunities, encouraging engagement with sub-central government contracts.
