Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority has concluded a procurement process for the renewal of the InnKeeper Civic Licensing Application, employing a direct award approach under their existing frameworks. This process was necessary to align with their standing orders and regulations, including the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Classified under the 'Public order and safety' category, the contract encompasses goods related to Information Communication Technology solutions within the region of UKM, which includes Glasgow. The award, finalised on 1st April 2025, was made without prior publication due to the urgent necessity of the services, reflecting on the stringent adherence to procurement directives.

Engaging Specialist Computer Centres as the supplier, the contract, valued at £389,465.92, presents significant business growth opportunities for firms that specialise in ICT solutions. This tender particularly benefits larger organisations due to its immediate and pre-defined nature, although subcontracting is involved, indicating room for collaboration with smaller entities. Companies with expertise in complex public safety systems and capabilities to meet the urgent requirements of public sector frameworks would be well-suited to pursue similar procurement opportunities in the future.
