## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority is in the process of procuring a Colleague Engagement Platform under an open procedure, targeting the application service providers industry. The procurement is focused on enabling a two-way engagement with Police Scotland's workforce, which consists of approximately 23,000 staff. The platform will support the Authority's 2030 vision by fostering meaningful communication and conducting annual workforce surveys. The procurement stage is currently active under tender ID PROC-24-2754, with a tender period that ends on 25th July 2025. The services are to be delivered in the UKM region, with a contract valued at £630,000 for an initial four-year term, extendable at the Authority's discretion.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the software and information systems sector, especially those capable of delivering high-quality digital communication solutions. With a total of seven bids received in the previous procurement cycle, four of which were from SMEs, there is a clear window for smaller enterprises and new market entrants to participate. Businesses with a focus on digital platform solutions, especially those with demonstrable experience in workforce management and engagement platforms, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement requires meeting specific criteria for financial standing and technical expertise, ensuring that the winning bid can provide a robust and secure platform to support the Police Authority’s strategic goals.
