Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under review was conducted by The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, with the contract titled "Core-Vet Licencing and Support," classified under systems support services. The location specified for this procurement is in Sussex, United Kingdom, with the main procurement category being services. The process reached the award stage, as noted on 5th August 2026, with the contract period starting from 31st August 2026 and extending until 30th August 2029, with an optional renewal of one additional year. This was a direct procurement process conducted below the competitive threshold, attributed to the classification of sub-central government public authority.
