UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Cumbria has completed a procurement process to award a contract for a Digital Forensic System, specifically an additional module to co-term existing provisions. This procurement falls under the services category, particularly for information technology services, and was conducted through a direct method below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Magnet Forensics LLC, based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and is scheduled to begin on 18th August 2026, ending on 29th June 2028. The total contract value is approximately £93,166.80, and it is designated for implementation across the UK region.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital forensic and IT services. Companies with expertise in developing and integrating forensic modules would be well-suited for future similar tenders, especially those focusing on law enforcement and public safety technology solutions. The direct award method suggests that establishing a strong relationship with public commissioning bodies could be advantageous. Although this particular contract was awarded without competition, it underscores the potential for businesses to engage in specialised public sector projects through niche expertise and relevant accreditation.
