## Summary

The procurement process for the "DIR Phase 2" contract, initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside, involves upgrading interview devices to digital formats under the CPV category "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support". While the tender is in the award stage and completed, the direct award was made to Insight Direct (UK) Limited, with the process held under the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Framework. The procurement method was limited, without prior publication of a call for competition, and was finalised on 5th February 2026. The procurement location is specified as the UKE region, which includes areas around Sheffield.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for IT service providers skilled in consulting, software development, and digital upgrades, particularly those capable of delivering complex hardware and software solutions. Businesses interested in public sector safety technology enhancements are well-suited to such ventures. Given the limited procurement method used, companies with existing frameworks or pre-established agreements, particularly larger entities like Insight Direct (UK) Limited, have the advantage in these niches. This contract, valued at £286,450.27, showcases potential growth areas for firms adept in public law compliance and delivering comprehensive IT solutions.
