## Summary

The procurement process for the CJ Text Redaction Tool (2026-2027) was conducted by Lancashire Constabulary, which is located in Preston, England. The procurement, classified under the industry category of software package and information systems, followed a selective method and was specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Softcat Plc and covers the period from 2nd July 2026 to 1st July 2027. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the award being published on 18th June 2026 and the tender period having ended on 28th May 2026. The entire contract is valued at £82,500 and focuses on the delivery within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those that can provide expertise in information systems and software packages. Although the procurement was a call-off under a framework agreement, which might limit overall participation, companies involved in similar framework agreements or well-versed in public sector IT services could find substantial growth opportunities. As the contract does not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises may be more ideally positioned to compete. Collaborations with organisations like Softcat Plc, a well-established supplier in the IT sector, can offer valuable partnerships and further business growth.
