Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex has procured systems support services as a replacement for the existing DIR arrangement serving Surrey and Sussex. The stated purpose is to renew and replace that support. The process was conducted through the Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud 14 framework, with supplier selection through the Digital Marketplace. The buyer is based in Lewes. The procurement is described as a single requirement, rather than distinct service lots, and the service is associated with both Surrey and Sussex. The service classification is systems support services (CPV 72253200).

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. David Horn Communications Limited was awarded the contract. The contract value is £127,599.38, and it was signed on 12 October 2026. The award is recorded as active. The buyer used a limited procedure through the G-Cloud 14 framework, selecting a supplier via the Digital Marketplace against the Authority’s requirements. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The procurement was structured as one lot, which is marked cancelled in the tender information, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the selected supplier and active contract are the stated outcome.

This award shows demand from the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex for replacement systems support serving Surrey and Sussex, procured through the G-Cloud framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide systems support that meets the Authority’s stated requirements and be able to compete through the relevant framework and Digital Marketplace selection process. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, so suppliers would need a commercially competitive offer as well as the capability to deliver the replacement support service. The scale of the award indicates a focused support contract rather than a large, multi-lot programme. The selected supplier was a large company, evidence that the incumbent delivery was awarded to a supplier with established organisational capacity.
