UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime bought two standalone, non-networked processing servers, including an AI service, for the Metropolitan Police Digital Forensic Services department. The requirement is for server and information-systems equipment to support digital forensic work. The department is based in Lambeth, London. The listed delivery coverage spans England, from the North East and North West through Yorkshire and the Midlands to the East, London, the South East and the South West. The procurement was for goods rather than a broader managed service or networked infrastructure project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to XMA Limited. The award was made under the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, through a selective route and as a below-threshold framework award; the process was not a competitive call-off. The award date is not stated. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2027. Its stated contract value is £53,874 excluding VAT, or £64,848.80 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the standalone servers and AI service. The published information does not set out separate evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, this award indicates demand for specialist server equipment and AI capability supporting police digital forensics. A credible competitor would need to supply standalone, non-networked processing servers and an AI service appropriate to a forensic-services environment, with the capability to deliver to the Metropolitan Police department in Lambeth. The route used was a call-off from the Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to supply within its terms would be important. The award also shows a focused, equipment-led requirement rather than a large-scale infrastructure programme. Suppliers with proven public-sector supply capacity in servers and associated technology would be better placed to meet a similar requirement when it returns to market.
