## Summary

Northumbria Police has completed a procurement process for the renewal of their covert system licenses, under the title "Covert Systems." This procurement falls within the industry category of software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000) and is valued at £125,235.63. The procurement was conducted via a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The tender process concluded on 31 October 2024, with the contract period commencing on 1 November 2024 and ending on 31 October 2027. The contracting activity took place in the United Kingdom.

This tender creates opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in software packages and information systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future, although the awarded contract for this particular tender went to ABM Intelligence Limited (UK). The procurement method indicates a preference for efficient and straightforward contracting processes, which can benefit businesses by reducing the competitive field and fostering consistent relationships with contracting authorities like Northumbria Police.
