Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex bought concurrent-user licences for Insight, described as Insight licences for Sussex. This is a software supply service for police use. The award item identifies delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated. The requirement is for access licences rather than a broader software implementation or other defined service, so suppliers should compare their Insight licensing offer with a concurrent-user licensing requirement for Sussex. The buyer is the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner.

The procurement is complete: Altia Solutions Limited (UK) was selected and the contract was signed on 6 October 2026. The award date is 6 October 2026. The contract value is £127,260 gross. The contract runs from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2029, with an optional three-year extension, potentially extending the period to 7 October 2029 as recorded. It was a direct award under a PCR exemption, on the stated basis of exclusive intellectual property rights held by a single supplier. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published data does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria; the direct award rationale is the stated basis for supplier selection.

This award shows Sussex Police’s demand for Insight concurrent-user licences, supplied through a direct award justified by exclusive intellectual property rights. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to offer the Insight product and establish the relevant rights to supply it; a competing software product alone would not meet this specific requirement. The licensing model also makes the ability to supply concurrent-user access relevant. The purchase was handled by the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex as a software supply service, so suppliers should be equipped to contract with a public-sector police buyer and support licensing across the stated contract term, including any extension if exercised. The award indicates a defined software licensing requirement rather than a wider technology services programme.
