## Summary

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire has awarded a contract for "VXRail Support" focusing on software support services. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 27th October 2025, with the contract being active. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation, specifically designed for contracts below a certain financial threshold.
