## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire has completed a procurement process for the renewal of digital forensics software, specifically Cellebrite software, which is crucial for their mobile forensics operations. The procurement falls under the "goods" category and was conducted using a direct award method, justified by embedded operational practices and cost-efficiency considerations. The contract, awarded to CELLEBRITE UK LIMITED, covers various licences and subscriptions for extracting and analysing digital forensic data. The procurement, spanning multiple regions in the UK, was initiated in March 2025, with the contract period beginning on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026. The total contract value amounted to £273,906.58, reflecting gross costs of £328,687.9, aligning with the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents a key opportunity for businesses in the digital forensics and software sectors, particularly those capable of directly meeting highly specific technological needs. The emphasis on a direct award underscores potential for businesses that specialise in unique software solutions or have established relationships with their clients. Although this contract highlights the importance of incumbency and continuity for the Leicestershire Police, it also suggests growth potential for similar SMEs when they can demonstrate seamless integration within operational frameworks. Companies offering complementary training, support, or other innovative forensic technologies could find avenues for collaboration and expansion in similar future tenders.

### Procurement Information

Leicestershire Police utilise various Cellebrite products across its Digital Forensics Unit and wider force estate. These tools are embedded within our Standard Operating Procedures and Working Instructions. Any change of these tools would require re-accreditation, training and administration, all of which would come at significant cost, both financially and in terms of officer / staff time for training. Therefore, based on our current operating methods it is not possible to seek alternative venders of similar digital forensic products. Although some third-party sellers are available, best value for money is achieved by going direct to the supplier to avoid additional costs.
