UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured Trend Micro software licences for its own use. This is a goods requirement covering industry-specific software packages (CPV 48100000), with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Police Digital Service, a public authority based in London. The requirement concerns the supply of licences rather than software development, consultancy, implementation works or general IT support. Suppliers whose core business is licensing, distributing or supporting Trend Micro products would be the closest fit. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and the recorded delivery location is the UK.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Blue Cube Security Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 27 March 2026 and runs from 30 March 2026 to 29 March 2027. Its value is USD 68,853.23. One supplier received the award for the Trend Micro licence requirement. The contract is active. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the tender covered one completed lot. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award signals a defined requirement for Trend Micro licence provision within the Police Digital Service and shows that the buyer used a below-threshold direct route for a single software-licensing requirement. Suppliers competing when a comparable requirement returns would need a credible route to supply genuine Trend Micro licences in the UK, together with the commercial capability to manage public-sector software orders. Relevant businesses include authorised resellers, licensing specialists, distributors and managed security providers with an established Trend Micro proposition. A competitor would also benefit from demonstrating reliable licence administration, continuity of supply and understanding of the Police Digital Service’s digital-security environment. The incumbent’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller supplier rather than only a large technology integrator.
