Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service intends to buy a Case Strategy Application, a software solution for managing prosecution case strategies. It is intended to give prosecutors and managers a robust, consistent approach to case strategy management by embedding strategy principles in casework. The system is also intended to strengthen managerial assurance, improve consistency and support continuous improvement in casework quality. The work is classified as software development services (CPV 72262000). The buyer is the Crown Prosecution Service, a central government authority. The procurement is organised as one lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated delivery location is not identified in the procurement information.

This is at the planning stage: the Crown Prosecution Service has stated an intention to procure, and there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The buyer expects to make a competitive award under the Technology Services 4 framework (RM6190), using a selective procedure. The estimated value is £1,854,630 excluding VAT and £2,225,556 including VAT. The planned contract is expected to run from 31 May 2027 to 31 May 2029, with a possible extension to 30 May 2031. The buyer has indicated one lot. No evaluation basis or participation requirements are set out at this stage; the stated framework route and contract dates are planning expectations, not tender deadlines.

The work is suited to suppliers able to deliver software development services for a case strategy management application, with a focus on supporting prosecution teams and managers. Relevant capabilities include building tools that embed structured case strategy processes, improve consistency across casework and provide managers with assurance. Suppliers with experience of applications for complex professional or public-sector workflows, and of supporting continuous improvement in service quality, may be well placed to prepare. The buyer’s stated aims give a clear indication of the desired outcomes: practical support for prosecutors and managers, stronger assurance and more consistent case strategy management. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable for the single-lot requirement. The procurement is intended to use the Technology Services 4 framework, so suppliers should assess whether they can participate through that route.
