Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured software assurance and unified communications support for a Session Border Controller Software Edition. This is specialist software support for the buyer’s communications systems, rather than a general software supply. The buying organisation is based in Durham, and delivery is associated with the Tees Valley and Durham area.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Corporate Project Solutions Ltd. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026, at a value of £20,087.28. The procurement used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, under the G-Cloud 14 framework. Price was the stated award criterion. The requirement was treated as a single lot, although the lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s future requirements, this award demonstrates demand for Session Border Controller Software Edition assurance and unified communications support through the G-Cloud 14 framework. The selected supplier was an SME, and the stated evaluation basis was price. A credible competitor would need to provide support for this specific software environment and be able to compete through the relevant framework route. The work is a focused support requirement, so suppliers whose offer covers only general software or unrelated communications services are less closely aligned.
