## Summary

The public procurement process for the "Bluelight Gazetteer" project, facilitated by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, involved the acquisition of IT software packages within the goods category. This process was conducted in Durham, UK, within the IT industry sector. The procurement stage has concluded with the contract award made to IDOX Software Ltd, indicated to be a large-scale supplier located in Woking, UK. The award procedure was executed without a prior publication call for competition, reflecting a limited procurement method. The contract, valued at £184,706 GBP, was signed on 20 March 2026, and the project focuses on providing a software solution to manage property and street data for local authorities and emergency services.

For businesses, especially those in IT services, the tender represented an opportunity to enter the market of specialised software solutions for public order and safety sectors. Although the procurement method implied pre-determined selection, similar tenders can offer pathways for growth through partnership or subcontracting opportunities, particularly for firms adept in geographical information systems and data management. Organisations with capabilities in software development, particularly those focusing on regional data applications, could find future prospects in such specialised public projects beneficial for expanding their business footprint.
