## Summary

The procurement process for the renewal of the "WPC Innkeeper Support (2025-2029)" contract has been completed by the Lancashire Constabulary. This tender involves the continued support of the Liquor Licencing System 'Innkeeper 7', administered by WPC Software Ltd, based in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process utilised a direct method known as single tender action, which is below the threshold. Key dates include the award date of 15th April 2025 and the contract period from 22nd June 2025 to 21st June 2029. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" with a contract value of £57,000.

This contract creates business growth opportunities for large software firms specialising in software support services, specifically those familiar with liquor licensing systems. While this direct procurement method was used by the Lancashire Constabulary, similar tenders may arise, providing valuable opportunities for businesses capable of delivering robust software solutions to public sector clients. Companies with the expertise and resources to manage ongoing system support could particularly benefit from such contracts, despite this instance not being suited for SMEs or VCSEs. This illustrates the niche opportunities available for larger players in the industry.
