Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured Core-Vet software licensing and support services for Sussex. The requirement falls within IT services, covering software and support. The procurement used the G-Cloud framework. The buyer is based in Lewes; the delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data while an active award and active contract are also recorded. WPC Software Limited was selected as supplier. This is a procurement for ongoing access to and support for Core-Vet, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work.

The procurement is recorded as complete and awarded to WPC Software Limited. It was conducted through the G-Cloud framework using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition; the stated rationale was compliance with the framework’s procedures. The stated evaluation basis was price. The single lot is marked cancelled, but the award and contract are recorded as active. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has a recorded value of £53,800. The tender data also describes an optional one-year extension. One bid was recorded. No contract-period dates are published in the supplied data, so the duration cannot be established from these details.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable Sussex requirement, this award indicates demand for Core-Vet licensing and ongoing support, procured through the G-Cloud framework and evaluated on price. A credible competitor would need to provide access to the relevant software and dependable support, and be able to participate through the framework route. The selected supplier was a large business, showing that the buyer awarded this requirement to an established supplier; the data does not identify specific accreditations, technical qualifications or staffing levels. The small recorded bid count suggests limited competition in this instance, but does not establish why. Suppliers whose offer combines suitable licensing, support capability and competitive pricing are the closest fit for this buyer’s stated requirement. No wider IT requirement is indicated.
