Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime procured coding services, classified as software consultancy services. The requirement was organised as a single lot and delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement title was “Coding”. The available description identifies the requirement only by reference and quotation numbers, rather than explaining the intended coding outputs or operational purpose. This is therefore relevant to businesses providing coding or software consultancy services, particularly those able to support a UK public authority. The buyer is based at 169 Union Street, London. The selected supplier, Code First Girls Limited, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in coding-related services, indicating that the requirement was suitable for an SME-scale provider.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a below-threshold quotation process; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. Code First Girls Limited was awarded the single lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 15 May 2025 and ran from 15 May 2025 to 14 June 2025. Its value was £29,668 excluding VAT, or £35,601.60 including VAT. The contract was awarded on the basis of software consultancy services, with no further evaluation criteria recorded. The buyer was the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime. This outcome shows a short, low-value coding engagement procured through a below-threshold route, rather than a multi-lot or above-threshold competition.

This procurement is most relevant to suppliers that provide coding and software consultancy services to public authorities. The selected provider was Code First Girls Limited, a London-based SME, showing that a specialist SME could meet the buyer’s requirement at this scale through a quotation-based, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of the same kind would need demonstrable coding capability and the ability to deliver software consultancy for a UK public-sector customer. The available procurement information does not identify a particular programming language, platform, accreditation, security clearance, staffing model or technical deliverable, so the clearest commercial lesson is the buyer’s use of a focused coding service from an SME rather than a large, complex technology supplier.
