## Summary

The procurement process led by Bedfordshire Constabulary involves the renewal of MSAB licences under the title "MSAB Licences Renewal - B". This project falls within the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement stage has advanced to the award phase as of 22nd August 2024. The contracting authority has already completed the tender, with the contract commencing on 2nd April 2024 and scheduled to conclude on 2nd April 2025. The total contract value is £194,285, and the service location is primarily in MK43 9AX, East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method was by direct single tender action below the threshold.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital forensics and IT services, especially those capable of providing advanced hardware and software solutions for examination of various digital devices. As the procurement was handled through a direct procurement method, smaller companies such as SMEs were not considered, suggesting that opportunities for business growth derive more from strategic partnerships with established suppliers like MICRO SYSTEMATION LIMITED (MSAB). Businesses adept at offering cutting-edge digital forensic tools and support services will find such tenders aligned with their growth objectives, especially within law enforcement and governmental sectors.

## Notice

MSAB provide several DF products including kiosks, XRY / XAMN and XRY Pro. These are hardware and software products which allow Digital Forensic Examiners to bruit force passcode protected devices, phones for the most part, and perform a high volume of examinations of feature ("dumb") phones. XAMN remains a widely used review tool for OIC's across the force.
