## Summary

The Norfolk Constabulary has recently completed a procurement process for IBM i2/iBase application licences on behalf of the Norfolk and Suffolk police forces. This procurement, classified under the business intelligence software package industry category (CPV 48482000), was executed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement via the Bluelight Commercial framework. The key dates for this procurement process included the tender period ending on 31st March 2025 and the contract period commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2028. The total contract value amounted to £450,401.58. This procurement is based in the East of England, specifically in Wymondham, with the contracting authority being Norfolk Constabulary, and the awarded supplier being BlueLight Commercial.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in the provision or maintenance of business intelligence software packages, particularly those capable of offering robust and reliable licensing solutions tailored to the needs of law enforcement agencies. While the procurement has now reached the award stage, companies that specialise in developing similar software solutions or those intending to join relevant frameworks in the future could find avenues for growth by understanding the criteria and requirements demonstrated in similar tenders. SMEs may typically find these procurement opportunities challenging due to eligibility criteria, but larger enterprises or those already engaged in framework agreements will find this a suitable market to expand their reach and strengthen their service offerings to the public sector.
