## Summary

The procurement process involves a direct award contract for the procurement of software support and licences from WPC Software Limited, commissioned by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire. The contract, valued at £283,195.19 gross, covers software support for various IT systems and will be active from 1st April 2025 until 31st March 2028. The procurement method used is a direct award due to the bespoke nature of the software and its technical integration with Leicestershire Police's existing systems, with the procurement stage now in the 'Award' phase. The award was finalised on the 31st of March 2025, shortly before the contract period commenced, targeting delivery across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, within the services industry category.

This tender offers computer software companies that specialise in support services a significant opportunity for business growth, especially those with expertise in bespoke software solutions integrated with public sector IT systems. While WPC Software Limited was directly awarded this contract due to its product specificity, other similar-sized SMEs with a focus on software-related services might find similar opportunities if they expand or tailor their offerings to create unique solutions that meet specific public sector needs. The consistent demand for technology updates and maintenance within government agencies highlights a robust market for businesses in tech services looking for growth avenues. Thus, suppliers with proven competence in delivering compatible and innovative IT solutions are best suited to compete in this sector.
