Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey has completed a procurement process titled "Provision of GL Wand Licences," falling under the software package and information systems category. The procurement, located in Guildford, UK, was conducted using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. It involves a three-year contract awarded to INSIGHTSOFTWARE UK LTD, starting from 13th September 2026 and ending on 12th September 2029. The aim is to ensure continuous service and compliance with procurement guidelines, with the value of the contract amounting to £75,669.04 gross. The procurement was finalised with the award notice published on 3rd August 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software provision, particularly those offering financial reconciliation solutions. While the contract was awarded without competition due to the specific nature of the product, it indicates potential for businesses that can offer similar niche products or alternative solutions to explore future tenders. Enterprises with expertise in developing or supplying specialised software systems could find opportunities for growth through similar procurement contracts. Specifically, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find value in targeting areas where tailored software and support services are in demand by public authorities.

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.
