UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria is procuring an additional module for its existing digital forensic provision. The requirement is intended to extend or align the current Digital Forensic System, supporting the buyer’s digital forensic operations. It is categorised as information technology services and covers the supply of the module and associated service provision. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers of digital forensic platforms, software modules and related technology services, particularly those able to work with an established forensic system rather than providing a wholly separate solution. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Penrith, Cumbria, serving policing and related public safety functions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one lot. Magnet Forensics LLC was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 31 July 2026. The award and contract value is £77,639 excluding VAT, or £93,166.80 including VAT. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 29 June 2028. The selected supplier is based in Atlanta, United States. The procurement was for services, with the contract covering the additional digital forensic system module and its provision for the Cumbria police authority. The process used a direct award route rather than an open or competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates an established requirement for digital forensic technology within Cumbria’s policing environment, with the buyer purchasing an additional module to align with existing provision. Suppliers considering comparable future work would need a proven digital forensic product that can operate alongside an incumbent system and support the buyer’s continuing operational use. Relevant capability includes developing or supplying specialist forensic software, maintaining compatibility with existing platforms, managing additional modules and providing dependable technology services to a public-sector policing organisation. Larger specialist suppliers may be well placed where the requirement involves established product capability, ongoing technical support and delivery across the United Kingdom.
