UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Police Digital Service procured Anchore Enterprise licences for its policing-related digital operations. The requirement is for industry-specific software licensing, rather than software development, consultancy, hardware or construction. Police Digital Service is the buying organisation, based in London, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one requirement for the Anchore Enterprise product. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are software publishers, authorised resellers, licensing partners and technology suppliers able to provide Anchore Enterprise licences for a public-sector customer. The buyer’s need concerns the supply of a named enterprise software product, so firms offering unrelated software packages or general IT support would not be a close match. The procurement category is goods, with CPV 48100000 for industry-specific software packages.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Police Digital Service used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Blue Cube Security Limited was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 25 May 2026. The contract runs from 26 May 2026 to 25 May 2027. Its value is £39,500 excluding VAT and £47,400 including VAT. The contract is below threshold. The procurement was evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies Blue Cube Security Limited as the awarded supplier. The requirement was delivered across the United Kingdom.

This procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for Anchore Enterprise licensing within Police Digital Service. It is most relevant to suppliers that can provide the named product through an established software licensing or authorised-reseller channel, manage enterprise licence supply, and support the administrative requirements of supplying a UK public authority. The awarded supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that delivery was not limited to a large systems integrator. A credible future competitor would need clear access to Anchore Enterprise licences, dependable fulfilment for a UK-wide public-sector customer, and an understanding of public procurement routes for below-threshold software purchases. Firms focused only on bespoke development, unrelated cybersecurity products or general IT support would be less well placed.
