## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Enterprise Architecture Tool" initiated by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire was recently withdrawn. The process was originally planned to serve the DDaT department of Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire as a part of their shared Enabling Services, with the aim of improving document management and system architecture accessibility. The process was affected by a cancellation notice published on 7th January 2026. Key earlier stages, such as the preliminary market engagement phase, were scheduled from 15th to 17th April 2025, inviting suppliers to showcase their solutions. The process was situated in Wellingborough, United Kingdom, and mainly targeted the software package and information systems industry. The procurement stage when cancelled was in the planning phase, with a gross value estimate of £660,000.

This tender presented significant business opportunities for companies specialising in software and information systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) offering innovative Enterprise Architecture solutions particularly stood to benefit, given the expressed interest in market offerings during the preliminary market engagement phase. With a substantial project budget and the potential for a contract period extending to 2031, businesses involved in providing advanced software solutions for system documentation and accessibility could have seen growth potential through this contract. However, interested parties should remain informed of future procurement opportunities from this organisation, as similar needs may arise again.

## Notice

Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire have added an Enterprise Architecture function to their DDaT department supporting both organisations as part of their shared Enabling Services. As part of that initiative, there is a need to properly document the organisation's architecture and enable far easier accessibility and maintenance of this information. We are seeking to understand what software and systems are available on the market to aid in this work.

### Planning Information

We are conducting a preliminary market engagement exercise to understand what the market has to offer. We are inviting suppliers to demonstrate their tools via Microsoft teams on Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th April and as such suppliers will need to be available on any of these dates to demonstrate. Each supplier will have 1.5 hours to provide a demonstration of their product. Please complete the word document included in the documents on our Atamis site and return via messaging centre on Atamis. https://northamptonshire-opfcc.my.site.com/s/Welcome If you have any issues accessing please contact on commercial@northants.police.uk
