## Summary

West Yorkshire Combined Authority has procured renewal of licences for cell site analysis software (CSAS), a specialist cloud software service used to analyse mobile phone cell-site data. The requirement is for software licences rather than general networking or internet software. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based in Leeds. The procurement was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework, under its cloud software lot. The contract description provides for an initial three-year period and an optional further year. The requirement is relevant to suppliers providing cloud-based cell site analysis software licences and associated renewal services, particularly those able to support the authority’s use of this specialist analytical software.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a selective framework call-off. Forensic Analytics Ltd was selected, with an award date of 15 October 2026. The awarded value is £484,000. The contract period runs from 19 November 2026 to 18 November 2030, reflecting the stated three-year initial term and optional one-year extension. The tender estimate was £363,000 to £484,000. The submission deadline was 14 October 2026. The contract was awarded through the G-Cloud 14 framework, so competition took place among framework suppliers rather than through an open tender. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The published information does not describe a separate scoring formula or detailed award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from West Yorkshire Combined Authority for ongoing licences to specialist cloud software supporting cell site analysis. A credible competitor when this requirement returns to market would need to provide software suited to analysing cell-site data, with a licensing and renewal model capable of supporting a multi-year service. The buyer used the G-Cloud framework route, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially important. The award to a small and medium-sized supplier shows that the requirement was delivered by an SME, rather than being reserved to larger providers. Suppliers with proven capability in this particular analytical software area and the capacity to sustain licence provision over an extended contract would be best placed to compete for a comparable requirement from this authority.

## Notice
