## Summary

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured a digital forensics service, classified as investigation services. The requirement covers specialist examination and investigation of digital evidence for policing and related public protection activity. It is a service contract rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. The buyer is based at Staffordshire Police HQ, Weston Road, Stafford, and the requirement is associated with the ST18 0YY area. Delivery is described as covering the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale are within the stated supplier profile for this type of work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 09:44. The award was made on 25 August 2026. Ccl Forensics was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value recorded as £0 GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The procurement is for services and covers the digital forensics requirement as a single item. The published outcome records the award as active. The stated route indicates that future suppliers would need access to, or participation through, an appropriate framework before competing for a similar call-off. The available procurement information does not state a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for specialist digital forensics and investigation capability within Staffordshire policing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to examine, preserve and interpret digital evidence to a standard suitable for investigative and potentially criminal justice use. Relevant capability is likely to include experienced forensic investigators, reliable evidence-handling processes, secure technical environments and the ability to support policing users across the stated geographic reach. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a framework call-off route, rather than relying only on direct tender access. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist provider can be relevant, provided it can demonstrate sufficient technical expertise, resilience and service capacity for a public-sector digital investigation requirement.
