Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured an eSafe monitoring service, a digital software service used by UK police forces to supervise high-risk individuals. The service provides real-time forensic oversight of digital devices, helping to check compliance with legal conditions. Software is installed on offenders’ registered devices so that monitoring can take place digitally. The procurement covers software packages and information systems, with delivery associated with Northamptonshire and the surrounding East Midlands area. This requirement is relevant to suppliers providing secure digital monitoring, device-based supervision, forensic oversight or related law-enforcement technology. It is a public-sector requirement from a policing and criminal justice buyer, rather than a general-purpose information technology purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. eSafe Global Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 30 June 2026, with a contract value of £5,850 excluding VAT, or £7,020 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027 and is active. Two 12-month extension options are available, giving a maximum possible end date of 30 June 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026. This outcome shows the buyer selected a named specialist supplier for a defined software monitoring service.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need a proven digital monitoring platform that can be installed on registered devices and provide reliable, real-time forensic oversight. The service must support police supervision of high-risk individuals and help evidence compliance with legal conditions, so suppliers should understand operational requirements in policing, offender management and criminal justice. Relevant strengths would include secure software deployment, device monitoring, live information handling, forensic capability and dependable service support. Experience delivering comparable technology to UK police forces or other public-sector enforcement bodies would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers should also be able to operate a specialist, focused service at the scale required by a local policing commissioner, rather than offering only broad general-purpose software.
