Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the "Police Digital Service", a sub-central government public authority based in London, UK, with the tender titled "ISF Membership". The tender pertains to the industry category of services, specifically training services. The procurement method was direct and conducted below the threshold without competition, indicating the process was straightforward and limited to specific suppliers. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to "Information Security Forum Limited", effective from 1st January 2026 until 31st December 2026. The procurement covered multiple regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, supporting a wide geographic scope of delivery for the services. The total contract value is £41,000 (gross of £49,200), with the contract signed on 8th October 2025.

This tender creates opportunities for SMEs specialising in information security and training services, demonstrating potential for growth in customer relationships with public sector entities such as the Police Digital Service. Businesses that can provide specialised training services across multiple regions in the UK will find this an appealing opportunity, potentially leading to further engagements with similar government bodies. The direct procurement method suggests that businesses already on preferred or qualified lists may have advantages, but new entrants with unique capabilities could also find opportunities by establishing connections with the buyer for future tenders.
