## Summary

Lancashire Constabulary bought a proof of concept for Peregrine Casebuild software, a software package and information system, for its Programme Activate. The purchase is a defined software implementation and proof-of-concept requirement rather than a broad supply of general IT services. Delivery is in the North West of England. Softcat supplied the software through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions 2 framework. This procurement therefore reflects demand from a police force for a time-limited trial of a particular case-building product, acquired through an established public-sector digital solutions framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat Plc on 3 August 2026. The award value is £293,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Lancashire Constabulary used a selective call-off from the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions 2 framework. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The stated procurement value was also £293,000. The procurement is for one proof of concept; no separate lots are recorded. The award information identifies Softcat as the selected supplier and the award as active.

For suppliers competing when Lancashire Constabulary next considers this requirement, the relevant capability is supplying and supporting Peregrine Casebuild for a proof-of-concept deployment, with the ability to meet a defined Programme Activate use case. The buying route is significant: this purchase was made through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace Solutions 2 framework, so credible access to that framework and experience delivering software call-offs would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier was a large IT supplier, and the buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This points to a requirement best matched by an established supplier with the framework position and capacity to provide the specified software solution.
