Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent bought consultancy services to design a Technology Operating Model and Roadmap for a new Joint Technology Service involving South Wales Police and Gwent Police. The requirement covers research and development consultancy supporting the design of how the joint technology service will operate and its future direction. Delivery is across South Wales and Gwent, covering the areas associated with the participating police organisations. This is a public-sector technology transformation and operating-model assignment, rather than a purchase of hardware, software or routine IT support. It is relevant to consultancies that advise police forces or other public bodies on technology operating models, organisational design, service integration and technology roadmaps.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. It was divided into one lot. Deloitte MCS Limited was selected, and the contract was signed on 27 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 20 October 2026. Its value is £74,975 excluding VAT, or £89,970 including VAT. The contract is active. The award concerns research and development consultancy services and relates to the single lot. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that resulted in Deloitte’s selection; the available outcome records do not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent for specialist advice on creating a shared technology service across police organisations. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show strong capability in technology operating-model design, technology strategy and roadmap development, and the practical integration of services across organisational boundaries. Experience of working with policing or other complex public-sector bodies would help demonstrate an understanding of governance, operational resilience, stakeholder coordination and service ownership. Firms should also be able to turn strategic analysis into a clear, deliverable roadmap for a joint service, supported by consultants able to work across South Wales and Gwent.
