Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service procured a presentation packages service for its own requirements. The procurement is for services, with the item classified under CPV 79112000 as legal representation services. The scope is described as “Presentation Packages 2026”, indicating a packaged service connected with presentation materials or support, while the classification places the purchased activity within legal representation services. The requirement was organised as a single lot. The selected supplier, Acume Forensic, is a Leeds-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The buyer is the Crown Prosecution Service, a central government public authority headquartered in London. The available information identifies the buyer and supplier locations, but does not identify a separate delivery site. The contract therefore appears relevant to suppliers combining presentation-package delivery with forensic or legal-service capability.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to Acume Forensic. The Crown Prosecution Service used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot and has a value of £48,283 excluding VAT, or £60,354 including VAT. The contract period runs from 17 September 2026 to 17 March 2027, with a possible six-month extension to 17 September 2027. A future signature date of 10 September 2026 was scheduled. The award record is marked pending, so the supplier has been selected but the award status has not yet been finalised in the published data. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No competitive evaluation criteria were used because the route was a direct award without competition.

This award gives competing suppliers a clear indication that the Crown Prosecution Service buys a defined presentation-packages service through a low-value direct-award route. A credible future supplier would need to deliver the stated presentation-package requirement and demonstrate capability aligned with the published legal representation services classification. The successful organisation, Acume Forensic, is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large national provider. Suppliers with relevant forensic, legal-service and presentation-support experience would be best placed to evidence fit. They should also be able to operate within a central-government buyer’s commercial requirements and provide a complete packaged service. The single-lot structure indicates that the buyer sought one provider for the requirement rather than dividing delivery among several specialists.
