## Summary

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), based in Wilmslow, bought subscription licences for financial investigator software. The requirement is for financial analysis and accounting software, supplied as a service, for use in the North West of England. This procurement concerns access to software licences rather than bespoke software development or general accounting services. The ICO is the buyer and the requirement relates to its financial investigation work. The software package classification is CPV 48440000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ABM Intelligence Limited, trading as Altia. The award was made on 28 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is valued at £49,000 and runs from 18 October 2026 to 17 October 2030. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 10 September 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information gives no evaluation criteria beyond the call-off route, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be described further.

For suppliers of financial investigation software, this award shows demand from the ICO for subscription access to a financial analysis and accounting software package, delivered for use in the North West. Altia, which is identified as an SME, secured the work through a framework call-off, demonstrating that a smaller specialist supplier can serve this requirement through that route. To be credible for a future requirement from this buyer, a competitor would need to provide suitable financial investigation software licences and be positioned to compete for a framework call-off. The commercial evidence is for a defined software subscription requirement, rather than a broad IT services or software development contract. Companies focused on unrelated accounting support or general-purpose technology services are less closely aligned with this purchase.
