Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey procured GL Wand software licences for use by its Corporate and Joint Finance Department in reconciling accounts. The requirement covers the software package and information systems needed to support that finance function, together with the associated maintenance and support service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Guildford. The procurement was structured as a single requirement and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The operational focus is continuity of an established account-reconciliation system, rather than a new implementation or a broader finance transformation programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Insightsoftware UK Ltd was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The award and contract value is £63,057.53 excluding VAT, or £75,669.04 including VAT. The contract runs from 13 September 2026 to 12 September 2029. The buyer stated that the current provider is the sole supplier of GL Wand licences, maintenance and support, providing the basis for the direct award. The award was evaluated on that requirement and the need to ensure service continuity, system support and compliance with procurement requirements.

This procurement indicates demand from Surrey’s policing finance function for a specialist supplier able to provide GL Wand licences and sustain the associated maintenance and support arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable control of, or authorised access to, the relevant software licensing model, together with the capability to deliver dependable technical support throughout a multi-year service period. Experience supporting account reconciliation systems and maintaining continuity for a live corporate finance operation would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand public-sector compliance expectations and provide a stable service rather than only supplying software licences. The requirement was treated as suitable for SMEs, although the successful supplier was a large organisation.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of GL Wand Licences

Notice Description

GL Wand is a system used by the Corporate and Joint Finance Department for the reconciliation of accounts. The software licences can only be supplied by the current provider, as they are the sole supplier of GL Wand licences, maintenance, and support services. The annual maintenance and support contract for GL Wand has recently been renewed for a further 12 months at a cost of PS21,014.58. It is anticipated that the costs for Years 2 and 3 will be broadly similar, subject to any agreed annual inflationary increases. A three-year contract is therefore proposed to ensure continuity of service, system support, and compliance with procurement requirements.
