The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex has completed a public procurement process titled "Provision of Single Data Centre of Excellence," aimed at consultancy services for the implementation of a Single Data Platform in Surrey and Sussex. The procurement falls under the Computer audit consultancy and hardware consultancy services category and was conducted through a limited procurement method, without prior publication of a call for competition, under the GMC GCloud 14 framework. The procurement process was in the award stage as of 27 May 2026, with ANS Group Limited being awarded the active contract valued at £1,240,000.
