Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured PINS, the Prisoner Intelligence Notification System for Sussex. This is a specialist prison-services technology requirement, intended to support prisoner intelligence notification rather than general IT or unrelated criminal justice services. Delivery relates to Sussex, with the buying organisation based in Lewes. The requirement was structured as a framework under G-Cloud 14. The procurement was managed by the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, serving the public-order and safety function. The awarded supplier, Saadian Technologies UK Limited, is based in London and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers with a focused prisoner-intelligence notification product and the ability to support policing or custodial operations in Sussex.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex used a limited procedure: an award without prior publication of a competition notice, on the stated basis that only one supplier could supply PINS for Sussex. The requirement was evaluated on price. The associated lot was marked cancelled, but an active award was made to Saadian Technologies UK Limited on 23 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £29,059 including the published currency of GBP. One bid was recorded. The procurement described the arrangement as a framework under G-Cloud 14, with an option described as three years plus one optional year. No contract end date is recorded alongside the award.

This award is evidence of a narrowly defined demand for prisoner intelligence notification technology within Sussex policing and public safety. A credible future competitor would need a functioning PINS-type system, demonstrable understanding of prisoner intelligence workflows and the ability to support operational users in a custodial or policing environment. The stated procurement rationale indicates that specialist product capability and supplier uniqueness were decisive, so a generic software or broad IT-services offer would be poorly aligned. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant G-Cloud route and provide clear price information, since price was the recorded evaluation basis. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large systems integrator.
