## Summary

The procurement process for the Police National Legal Database, overseen by the Crown Prosecution Service, has reached the award stage. This contract focuses on providing comprehensive legal services under the CPV code 79100000, relevant to the criminal justice system. The service is crucial to all 43 Home Office police forces across the United Kingdom. The contract covers the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement was executed through a direct single tender action, with the contract valued at £138,553.74. The awarded organisation is the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, known as PNLD.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in criminal law databases. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) can also find this contract conducive to business growth due to its focus on supporting law enforcement agencies. Given the specialised nature of the database, firms with a track record in legal information services, particularly for the public sector, would be well-positioned to compete effectively for similar future opportunities.

## Notice

Relied upon by all 43 Home Office police forces, PNLD is a comprehensive criminal law resource and a critical tool to ensure that anyone with a duty to investigate or prosecute offences can apply the law correctly. As a criminal justice professional, PNLD know how vital it is to apply the law appropriately. Knowing precisely what can be done when pursuing an investigation is equally as important as knowing what you cannot do. PNLD will help to support the Police Service in making those challenging decisions.
