UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured support for the Police National Legal Database. This is a software-related service providing access to, or operational support for, a legal database used in policing. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based at Staffordshire Police Headquarters in Stafford. The awarded service covers the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on specialist legal information technology rather than general policing, legal advice or physical works. It would therefore be relevant to suppliers that develop, operate, maintain or support legal databases and related software services for police forces or other public-sector organisations. The selected supplier is PNLD, the legal entity of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to PNLD (legal entity PCC of West Yorkshire) on 1 April 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £81,015 excluding VAT, or £97,218 including VAT. The award relates to software-related services for the Police National Legal Database and covers the United Kingdom. The recorded route was a direct award rather than an open or competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a requirement placed with a named specialist provider rather than bids evaluated through a published competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Staffordshire policing for a specialist legal database support service delivered at public-sector scale. A competing supplier would need a credible legal information database or closely related software service, with the technical capability to support reliable access and ongoing operation for a police organisation. Experience of serving public authorities would help demonstrate an understanding of operational, information-management and assurance requirements, while the UK-wide delivery scope indicates the need to support users beyond a single local site. The selected provider’s position as PNLD indicates that established specialist legal knowledge and a service designed for policing are important competitive features when comparable requirements are considered again.
