Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured 30 MOSAIC software licences for operational command use. MOSAIC is a mobile IT platform intended to support Operational Command elements, either with or without central coordination. The requirement falls within business software and software-platform supply, under CPV 48100000. It was a single requirement under the Police Digital Service Shared Situational Awareness System Framework. The buying organisation is the Scottish Police Authority, a public body responsible for public order and safety and also acting as a central purchasing body. The procurement was for software licences rather than construction, equipment installation or a general IT support service. The requirement relates specifically to operational command and shared situational awareness within policing, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide or support this type of mobile operational software.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a call-off from the Police Digital Services Framework. One lot covered 30 MOSAIC licences for a four-year period. Airbox Systems Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract is active. The contract value is £66,517.80 excluding any different treatment of tax, in GBP. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026. One bid was received, and it was from an SME; the available bid statistics record no foreign EU or non-EU bids and no electronic bids. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive.

This award shows established demand from the Scottish Police Authority for mobile operational-command software supporting shared situational awareness. A credible future competitor would need a platform that can be used by operational command teams both with and without central coordination, together with the ability to supply a defined licence estate at public-sector scale. Suppliers would also need to understand policing environments, operational information requirements and the practical delivery of software licences through a public-sector framework. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that scale alone was not the defining feature of the competition. Businesses with a proven mobile IT product, relevant public-safety or emergency-services experience, framework access and the capacity to support a multi-year licence arrangement would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
