## Summary

The procurement process led by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire involves a contract for IT hardware, software, and associate consumables. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the hardware industry. The contract, titled "IT Hardware Software and Associate Consumables," was awarded on 16th March 2026, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The project is located throughout regions UKF21 and UKF22. The procurement aimed at improving efficiency by consolidating procurement through a single supplier, enhancing pricing consistency, and simplifying the compliance process, although the initial procurement stage has been cancelled.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT hardware and software provision, especially those keen to establish long-term relationships by providing consistent quality and competitive pricing. With an awarded contract value of £110,000,000, businesses with the capacity to handle large-scale supply and management are well-positioned to compete. SOFTCAT PLC, a large company local to Buckinghamshire and the current supplier, exemplifies the type of organisation suitable for this contract type. The single-supplier arrangement offers business growth opportunities through streamlined processes and guaranteed demand in public order and safety operations.
