OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority, located at 1 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, has recently completed a tender process for the renewal of existing UFED software licences. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, consistent with specific regulations regarding technical reasons and exclusive rights. The total contract value is £833,249, and it was officially signed on 31st December 2018.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in software and technical support services, particularly those familiar with UFED solutions. Companies that specialise in renewal of licences and maintenance services, particularly those with a focus on public sector contracts, would be well-positioned to engage with the Scottish Police Authority. With the nature of this procurement limiting competition to a sole provider due to technical requirements, it underscores the importance of establishing capabilities in niche software provisions to cater to similar future contracts.

Procurement Information

It is considered that the variation of the existing contract and the award of a new contract in the circumstances detailed in this Paper is consistent with Regulation 32 (1) and (2) (b) (ii) and (iii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, which allows the contracting authority to award a contract without a competitive process when for technical reasons or for reasons connected with the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights, a public contract may be awarded only to a particular economic operator.
