Summary of the contracting process

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority procured the first 12-month extension of South Yorkshire Police’s Digital Asset Management System. The requirement concerns continued use and support of a digital asset management system under the original framework call-off contract, serving South Yorkshire Police. The buying organisation is based in Sheffield, and delivery is in South Yorkshire. This is a public-sector technology services requirement associated with policing and public order and safety. The original call-off was made through South Yorkshire Police’s Digital Asset Management System Framework, which indicates a requirement for a specialist system rather than a one-off supply of equipment. The extension relates to the existing service arrangement and its ongoing operation for the police force.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The contract was awarded to NICE Systems UK on 1 July 2026, with a signed active contract valued at £392,203. The opportunity covered the first 12-month extension of an original five-year call-off contract, which included four optional 12-month extensions; three extension options remain. The stated award criterion was price, and one bid was recorded. The procurement record identifies one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the associated award and contract are active. The process was justified as falling outside the relevant directive’s scope, with the original call-off notice published on 26 July 2022.

This procurement is evidence of continuing demand from South Yorkshire Police for a specialist digital asset management system and its associated service provision. Competitors would need a product and delivery capability suited to police use, including the secure management, storage, retrieval and controlled use of digital assets in an operational public-sector environment. Experience delivering or supporting comparable systems would help establish credibility, particularly where continuity with an existing platform and framework-based call-off arrangements matter. Suppliers should also be able to compete on price, since price was the stated award basis. The incumbent was NICE Systems UK, a large supplier, so future competitors would need sufficient organisational capacity to support a police service and sustain the system over an extended contract arrangement.
