## Summary

The Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire procured hydrant management software, classified as industry-specific software. The requirement is described as “Hydrant Management”, with no further breakdown of the software’s functions. The recorded delivery location is Staffordshire Police Headquarters in Stafford; the procurement also lists broad delivery coverage including the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works or general services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 3tc Software Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026. The award value is recorded as £0, so no positive contract value can be established from the published award data. The contract period runs from 11 September 2027 to 10 September 2029. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The bid deadline was 11 September 2026 at 10:00. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No separate lots or detailed evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Staffordshire’s Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for software to manage hydrants, with supply made through a framework call-off. The selected supplier, 3tc Software Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was met by a small or medium-sized software business. For a future competition for this same requirement, a credible supplier would need to offer software suited to hydrant management and be able to supply it through the relevant framework route. The scope recorded is brief, so suppliers should focus on demonstrating that their product addresses the buyer’s hydrant-management need rather than assuming wider policing or emergency-service software requirements.
