## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire involves the support and maintenance of the Public Access System (PAS) from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030. This tender, classified under services in the software support industry, is situated in the North West of England. The procurement stage has reached the Award phase, with the contract already signed on 16th February 2026. The supplier chosen for this contract is NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, based in Hemel Hempstead.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software support services. As the contract period spans four years, businesses with expertise in system maintenance may find valuable prospects for long-term engagement and collaboration with sub-central government authorities.

Engaging in such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and establish a strong presence in government-related software services.
