## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Scottish Police Authority encompasses a contract for secure data hosting services for the Police Scotland East Data Centre, falling under the data storage services industry category. This contract involves colocation services, power consumption, and storage capabilities, specifically located within the UKM region. The procurement approach followed a "limited" method without prior publication due to technical constraints, and the contract was awarded to Pulsant Limited on 31st March 2025, with a total contract value of £2,275,911 GBP. The procurement was tagged in the award stage and has proceeded to contract status as active. The related lot for this tender was cancelled. The buyer, with legal operations based at 1 Pacific Quay in Glasgow, primarily addresses public order and safety.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in secure data services and technical solutions, particularly those capable of delivering complex migration projects. While the procurement was conducted without a competitive bid due to technical reasons, it highlights key areas where data-driven or tech-oriented firms can engage with public bodies for future collaborations. Large enterprises with experience in handling high-risk, large-scale technical projects, similar to Pulsant Limited, would find themselves well-suited to meet such stringent requirements and potentially support Police Scotland in ongoing or future tech-based initiatives.
