UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire sought criminal intelligence telecommunications digital evidence software, supplied either as software as a service or as a standalone product. This is specialist software for handling digital evidence and intelligence from telecommunications. The requirement was classified as software and information systems. Delivery was intended for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. The procurement was managed by the Commissioner, whose base is Sherwood Lodge in Nottingham. The requirement covered one lot, rather than separate packages of products or services.

The competition reached award stage: Chorus Intelligence Limited was selected on 23 September 2026, with an award value of £619,875 excluding VAT (£743,850 including VAT). However, the authority abandoned the procurement on 9 October 2026 before the contract was signed. It said due diligence identified parts of the documentation requiring further review and possible amendment so its requirements were clearly and accurately reflected. The proposed contract period was 15 November 2026 to 14 November 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially running to 14 November 2031. This was a selective competitive flexible procedure. Four bids were received and two reached the final stage. Price carried 40% of the evaluation and quality 60%.

This outcome indicates demand from Nottinghamshire’s police and crime authority for specialist digital-evidence and telecommunications-intelligence software, usable both as a hosted service and as a standalone solution, across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. A credible future competitor would need to show that its product meets the authority’s operational requirements in both deployment models and can perform strongly on quality as well as price. The trial stage required shortlisted suppliers to provide product hyperlinks and two standalone laptops, so suppliers should be ready to support hands-on evaluation and demonstrate the standalone system in practice. The buyer marked the single lot as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and SMEs made up both bids reaching the final stage. The procurement was abandoned after review identified documentation needing clarification or amendment; the successful award therefore did not proceed to a signed contract.
