UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales procured consultancy services to design a Technology Operating Model and Roadmap for a new Joint Technology Service between South Wales Police and Gwent Police. This is a public-sector technology strategy and operating-model assignment, covering research and development consultancy services. The work relates to the technology arrangements needed to support collaboration between the two police forces, including the design of the future operating model and a roadmap for its delivery. Delivery covers South Wales and Gwent, including Central Valleys, Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, and Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was structured as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold route, with the specific method recorded as unknown. One lot was completed. Deloitte MCS Limited was selected as supplier, 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 requirement was classified as research and development consultancy services. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract. The recorded procurement information does not set out separate evaluation weightings or selection thresholds. The short contract period indicates a focused consultancy assignment rather than long-term technology service delivery.

This procurement demonstrates demand from South Wales and Gwent policing for specialist advice on designing a shared technology service. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need proven consultancy capability in technology operating models, target operating-model design, technology strategy and delivery roadmaps. Experience of bringing public-sector organisations together, particularly across police forces or similarly regulated bodies, would strengthen credibility. Relevant teams would need to understand governance, accountability, service ownership, operating processes, technology capabilities and the practical steps needed to move from the current arrangement to a joint service. Research and development consultancy experience is directly relevant. Large multidisciplinary firms may compete effectively, but smaller specialists with demonstrable public-sector transformation experience could also be credible if they can provide the required strategic and delivery capacity.
