## Summary

BlueLight Commercial awarded a lead delivery partner contract for PoliceAI on behalf of the College of Policing. The requirement is for information technology services, covering strategic ICT partnership and the delivery of PoliceAI. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. BlueLight Commercial manages the procurement, with the College of Policing as the contracting authority for whom it is acting.

The procurement is complete: Deloitte LLP was selected and the award was made on 15 September 2026. It was a further competition call-off from Lot 1, the ICT Strategic Partner lot, of an existing ICT framework. The contract is valued at up to £30 million including VAT; £11,433,385.20 including VAT is committed for year one for core supplier resources, while other work is subject to Statements of Work. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend by 12 months. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For suppliers competing for a future PoliceAI lead delivery partner requirement, this award shows demand for a strategic ICT partner able to provide core delivery resources and undertake additional work through Statements of Work. A credible competitor would need the capacity to sustain a multi-year delivery partnership, respond to separately defined work packages and support PoliceAI delivery for the College of Policing. The buyer used a further competition under an established ICT framework, so experience operating through framework call-offs and competing in a further competition would be relevant. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises indicates that smaller firms may be capable of participating; the award to a large supplier also demonstrates that the requirement can be delivered at substantial scale. тек
