Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority has completed a procurement process for the provision of the "CrimeStoppers Reporting Line", a service for the anonymous reporting of crime and intelligence. This contract, classified under the "Call Centre" CPV code, is situated in Scotland (Region: UKM) and falls within the services category. The procurement method was a limited, non-competitive action due to technical reasons and was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £1,164,170 GBP, was signed on 31 March 2026, with Treble 5 Treble 1 Limited selected as the supplier. The procurement stage is at the Award with the process now completed. The procurement adhered to the Single Market framework as defined by EU Directive 2014/24/EU.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in communication services, particularly those experienced in delivering secure and confidential reporting systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on technology solutions for public safety services are well-positioned to engage in similar opportunities, given the technical requirements specified. Despite the non-competitive nature of this procurement, it highlights the critical role of building specialised capabilities that can meet regulatory and technical demands, which can be leveraged for future contracts across the UK and beyond in public safety and communication sectors.
