This contract was a national solution with Police Scotland as the lead force, aimed at providing these licences across the UK. The process employed a direct award method under the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud Framework, bypassing the need for a prior publication of a competitive call for applications. The procurement, identified by the procurement ID ocds-h6vhtk-05a8af, concluded with an active contract awarded to UNISYS LIMITED on 22nd September 2025, amounting to GBP 182,335.99.
