Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire has completed the procurement process for "Gazetteer Software Annual Subscriptions." This tender falls within the "Software package and information systems" category, with delivery expected in UKD6. It was conducted as a direct award under the CCS Vertical Application Solutions framework RM6259, bypassing a call for competition, which is a "limited" procurement method. The contract was signed on 24th March 2026 with Idox Software Ltd, for a value of £113,000. The process is now at the award stage and has been finalised.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for large software companies capable of providing specialised software solutions to public sector bodies. Given the direct award nature, experienced suppliers with existing framework agreements may find similar opportunities for business growth by positioning themselves within appropriate frameworks and demonstrating strong alignment with specific public sector needs. Companies specialising in comprehensive software systems should particularly note this sector to expand their footprint in public procurement.
