## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, focusing on the provision of support and maintenance for the LIMA Case Management System. This service is crucial for maintaining the operational capabilities of the Digital Forensics Unit's case management tool, LIMA, which plays a key role in ensuring auditable communication during forensic investigations. The contract, titled "LIMA - Case Management System - Support & Maintenance," falls under the software support services category. The procurement was executed through a direct method, being below the threshold and conducted without competition. The project is based in the UK with coordination handled from Cottingham, denoting the "UKE12" region. The procurement process has already progressed to the award and contract stage, with the contract being active from 3rd October 2025 to 3rd April 2026.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software support services, particularly those with expertise in case management systems used by law enforcement agencies. Businesses structured as small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), having a robust background in forensic technology, and capable of delivering reliable software maintenance solutions would find this contract well-aligned with their offerings. Participating in such tenders can help firms bolster their industry presence and enhance their collaborative portfolio with public sector organisations. Given that INTAFORENSICS LTD, an SME based in Nuneaton, secured this contract indicates the competitiveness of smaller, specialised firms in the software support domain.

## Notice

The DFU currently use LIMA as its case management tool, allowing officers to submit a request via the LIMA portal for all digital devices requiring examining. During analysis by the DFU all updates are via the Lima case system, which allows communications to be auditable. This is a requirement of the DFU's forensic accreditation (ISO 17025:2017). As with any proprietary systems, software support and maintenance is necessary to cover any issues that arise and ensure that reduction in functionality does not impact upon live investigations.
