## Summary

Greater Manchester Police procured a public access system for its Central Ticket Office. The service is intended to connect with PenTIP, supporting the office’s public-facing ticketing and access functions through an integrated software and information system. This is a technology services requirement delivered in the North West of England. The buyer is Greater Manchester Police, based in Manchester. The procurement concerns the provision and operation of a software solution rather than physical works or equipment. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of public-sector case, ticketing or access-management systems, particularly those able to integrate with existing police or justice technology platforms and support operational users in a public-facing environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Greater Manchester Police used a selective call-off from the CCS RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework. The tender closed on 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited on 1 July 2026, for £106,982.73 including the stated GBP currency, with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The awarded value is the same as the tender value. The requirement was treated as services and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was classified as software packages and information systems.

This award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester Police for an integrated public access system serving a Central Ticket Office and linking with PenTIP. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide robust software and information systems for public-sector operational use, integrate reliably with established platforms, and understand the needs of police or related justice environments. Experience delivering secure, dependable services for public-facing functions would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route to market is also significant: the successful supplier came through a CCS vertical application solutions framework call-off, so businesses targeting comparable work should consider the relevant framework route and ensure they can meet its participation requirements. The scale of the appointed supplier indicates that substantial delivery capability and organisational capacity may be expected.
