## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Leicestershire Police, focused on securing a contract for IT Hardware Software and Associate Consumables in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Falling under the 'Hardware' and 'Software package and information systems' categories, the contract was awarded via a selective procurement method known as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage was completed on 18 December 2025, with the award stage active from 22 December 2025. The contract commenced on 1 April 2026 and is set to conclude on 28 February 2030, offering an extensive period for fulfilment. The buying organisation, Leicestershire Police, is based in Leicester, England, and the contract value totals £110,000,000 GBP.

This tender creates a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT hardware and software solutions, particularly those able to provide comprehensive single-supplier arrangements. While the procurement is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger companies like SOFTCAT PLC, the winning supplier, can leverage the scale and duration of the contract to strengthen their market presence and expand their clientele in the public sector. Businesses with capabilities to provide bespoke software and information systems solutions would be well-suited to similar procurement processes, offering key growth potential within the UK market.
