UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured a DVR Examiner subscription, a video-recovery tool used to examine and recover video evidence. The requirement is for the software subscription rather than a wider investigation or policing service. The buyer is based at Police Headquarters in Durham, and the procurement is for its use. The award classifies the purchase as goods and identifies the associated product as licence-management software. The supplier selected was Magnet Forensics LLC, a forensic software provider based in Atlanta, United States.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Magnet Forensics LLC was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 27 February 2027 to 26 February 2028. Its value is £5,470.34 excluding VAT, or £6,564.41 including VAT. The purchase is a single requirement, recorded as one lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement details.

This award shows Durham’s demand for a specialist video-recovery tool for examining video evidence, rather than a broader digital-forensics service. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would need to provide a DVR Examiner subscription with credible video recovery and examination capabilities, and demonstrate that the software is suitable for police investigative use. The chosen supplier is an established forensic software business, indicating that product specialism and the ability to supply the relevant licensed tool are central to this small, focused purchase. Suppliers offering unrelated software or general consultancy would be less closely aligned with the requirement. The direct, non-competitive route used for this purchase is also relevant context for businesses tracking how this buyer has sourced the product.
