Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey procured an online monitoring service for registered sex offenders who are subject to court direction. The service is intended to monitor their online activity. This is a specialist offender-monitoring requirement delivered across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. It is a public service contract rather than a purchase of equipment or construction works, and is relevant to suppliers able to provide technology-enabled monitoring in the criminal justice context. The stated scope concerns online activity monitoring; no wider policing, rehabilitation or offender-management functions are described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ESAFE GLOBAL LIMITED. The award date was not separately stated; the contract award outcome was published on 6 October 2026. The award value is £348,500 excluding VAT (£418,200 including VAT). The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 July 2027, with four one-year extension options and a latest possible end date of 31 July 2031. The supplier had already signed and started the contract on 1 August 2026; the contract dates were recorded later due to a system error. The commissioner used a direct award, stating that the selected supplier held exclusive rights and was the only supplier able to provide the required services. The procurement was structured as one lot. No evaluation scoring basis is stated.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner, this award shows demand for online activity monitoring of court-directed registered sex offenders, delivered across a broad area of England. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a solution capable of serving this specific criminal justice use, with the operational capacity and coverage to support delivery across multiple English regions. The recorded justification for selecting ESAFE GLOBAL was that it had exclusive rights and was the only supplier able to provide the required services. Suppliers seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would therefore need to offer a demonstrably suitable alternative and address any relevant rights or exclusivity constraints, as well as evidence that their service meets the commissioner’s monitoring requirement.
