This tender is concerned with procuring a digital app and electronic notebook designed to streamline officer workflows, facilitating data entry, report submission, and database checks via mobile devices. It covers the UK region and follows a limited procurement method due to the technical integration required with existing systems, bypassing the need for a prior published call for competition. The tender, categorized under the goods procurement method, has reached the award stage with the contract signed on 8th April 2026. The awarded contract with Softcat Ltd, valued at £3,296,624, aims to provide this sophisticated software solution.
