## Summary

The South West Police Procurement Service, representing Avon and Somerset, Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire Police, has completed a public procurement process titled "SAP Resource". This procurement, in the services industry category, entailed awarding a short-term six-month contract for software support services to IBM UK Ltd. The aim was to maintain the existing bespoke ERP environment amidst delays in the implementation of a new system. The contract was signed on 28 June 2024, following a limited procurement method due to technical reasons, with the entire procurement process completed by 31 July 2024. The services will be mainly delivered in the UKK region.

This procurement presents notable business growth opportunities, especially for firms specialising in software support and ERP maintenance. Companies with a strong technical background and specific knowledge of bespoke ERP systems are well-suited to these opportunities. The highly specific technical requirements of the procurement indicate a preference for specialised service providers, which allows such businesses to leverage their niche expertise to secure similar contracts in the future. This sector-focused approach ensures continuous operational support while mitigating risks associated with complex system transitions, thus favouring businesses with bespoke solutions and high technical competence.
