Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured an online offender-monitoring service for registered sex offenders whose monitoring is directed by the courts. The requirement is to monitor their online activity, supporting supervision and offender management. The service covers East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton and Hove. This is a specialist public protection service rather than general IT monitoring: the solution must be applicable to court-directed monitoring of this specific group. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the service across the stated delivery areas.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ESAFE GLOBAL LIMITED. The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex made a direct award, citing the supplier’s intellectual property or other exclusive rights. The award date was 23 September 2026. The award value is £525,000 excluding VAT (£630,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 28 June 2027, with provision for four 12-month renewals and a maximum possible end date of 28 June 2031. The contract was signed and started on 28 July 2026, before the recorded period start date. It was evaluated through a direct award based on exclusive rights; the procurement comprises one lot.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s requirement when it next returns to market, the award demonstrates demand for a specialist system to monitor the online activity of registered sex offenders subject to court direction. A credible competitor would need a solution suited to offender monitoring and the operational context of public protection, with the capability to support use across Sussex, including East Sussex, West Sussex and Brighton and Hove. The incumbent was selected through a direct award on the basis of intellectual property or other exclusive rights, so a future competitor would need to demonstrate relevant technical capability and a clear basis for supplying an effective alternative. The contract’s renewal structure indicates that continuity and sustained delivery matter alongside the monitoring solution itself.
