Intelligence is information that is compiled, analysed, and disseminated with the strategic intention of monitoring, anticipating, or preventing criminal activity. The Police are responsible for evaluating and assessing intelligence to enable informed decision-making. This information is stored and used to conduct research and address intelligence gaps. The outcome of these activities is classified as 'intelligence'. Telecommunications forensic evidence solutions play a crucial role in most investigations and have become increasingly important in recent years. This software enables a proactive response to all forms of criminality, including intelligence development and investigations. By leveraging this technology, connections between datasets and communications networks can be identified more quickly than manual methods would allow. The software ensures consistency and integrity by processing data according to predefined rules and supports the provision of geolocation evidence in a criminal court. The Authority is inviting tenders for the provision of software solutions that will oversee the management of telecommunications-related evidence gathering. The aim is to enhance efficiencies in the processing and analysis of geolocation data, improving the ability to manage threat, harm, and risk while enabling a more timely and effective response compared to manually handling raw data. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Initial term is 36 months with the option to extend for 12 months plus a further 12 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059031-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Nov 2026 - 14 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | 2029-06-23 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £620,000 | | Lots value | £620,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG5 6LU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Gedling | | Electoral ward | Ernehale | | Westminster constituency | Gedling | | Delivery location | TLF14 Nottingham, TLF15 North Nottinghamshire, TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 23 Jun 2026 at 13:51 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059031-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059031-2026 23rd June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://nottinghamshirepolice.my.site.com/s/Welcome You will need to be registered on the e-portal to access this opportunity.
