UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire bought a CACI Acorn licence, classified as a services requirement. CACI Acorn is a commercial data and insight product used to provide information about populations, households and consumer characteristics; the procurement record describes the requirement specifically as provision of the licence. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, based in Leicester. Delivery covers England, with the listed delivery areas spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement therefore concerns a licence that can support activity across a broad national footprint rather than a service confined to one local site.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire awarded it to CACI Limited. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 11 May 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2030, with an option for one 12-month extension to 13 July 2031. Its value is £74,456 excluding VAT and £89,347.20 including VAT. The award is recorded as an active services award, and the tender is complete. The process was not divided into multiple substantive requirements: the single recorded lot is complete. The available record does not state a separate award date.

This award shows established demand from a policing-sector public authority for a population and consumer insight licence covering a wide English footprint. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a comparable Acorn-type data product under a public-sector licence, with the scale and geographic coverage to support users across England. Suppliers should be able to explain their licensing model, data coverage, update arrangements and lawful use of the information in a way that meets public-sector requirements. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so businesses should also understand how to identify comparable low-value licensing requirements and demonstrate that their product is a suitable alternative when the requirement next reaches the market.
