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

The Scottish Police Authority is seeking to procure a software upgrade and supporting licences for the GeneMapper ID-X and Data Collection technology, with a budget of £190,000. This procurement was initiated under a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition due to the critical need to update technology that is no longer supported. The contract was signed on 27 March 2019 and the project is located in Inchinnan, UK, categorised under services for public order and safety.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for technology firms, particularly those specialising in forensic and data collection software. Businesses that have the technical capability to provide software solutions and upgrades for forensic services would be ideally positioned to compete in future tenders from the Scottish Police Authority or similar entities. Companies with a focus on innovative software development in security and public safety industries may also find their expertise in demand as the authority continues to modernise its operational technologies.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a contract for purchase of software upgrade including the supporting licences for Data Collection and GeneMapper ID-X technology

Procurement Information

The current technology is running on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 - there is no longer any support for Windows 7 and therefore this upgrade is required. The licences are only available from a single supplier, Life Technologies Limited, and form part of the core technology set used by Forensic Services Biology in person identification processes, therefore the upgrade is regarded as business critical in support of operational delivery.
