Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured renewal of its Elastic Search Cloud Enterprise licence. This is an enterprise information and communications technology service, classified under CPV 72261000 for software support services. The requirement supports Police Scotland and is delivered at Clyde Gateway, 2 French Street, Glasgow. The purchase was made through a mini-competition under the HealthTrust Europe Enterprise Level Information Communication Technology Solutions 2023 Digital Technology Framework Agreement, also known as ComIT 3 – Complete IT 3. It concerns one requirement rather than a group of separate service areas. The buyer is a central purchasing body and public authority serving public order and safety functions, so suppliers with experience supporting technology used in policing or other operational public-sector environments may find the requirement particularly relevant.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Scottish Police Authority ran an open mini-competition under the HealthTrust Europe ComIT 3 framework, with evaluation resulting in one bid. Softcat Plc was selected for the requirement, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 for £456,820.88 including the published currency of GBP. The award relates to the single licence-renewal requirement for Elastic Search Cloud Enterprise. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published outcome records one electronic bid, with no bids from small or medium-sized enterprises and one bid from outside the European Union. The award does not indicate separate values or suppliers for different lots.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting future enterprise search and cloud-licensing requirements from the Scottish Police Authority. A credible competitor would need to supply or support Elastic Search Cloud Enterprise at substantial organisational scale, understand licence renewal and continuity requirements, and provide dependable ICT support for a policing environment. Experience with public-sector procurement would be useful, particularly participation through an established technology framework and the ability to compete in a framework mini-competition. Suppliers should be able to manage a single, sizeable technology requirement for a named operational site, support electronic tendering, and demonstrate the commercial capacity to serve a large public body. Specialist software resellers, cloud technology providers and enterprise support partners are the closest fit.
