## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside have completed a public procurement process for the provision of digital forensics licenses, specifically the Semantics21 Vision-X Licenses and supporting modules. The procurement falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, with the main procurement category being goods. The procurement was conducted via a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold. This contract, located in the UKD region, commenced on 1st April 2026 and is expected to conclude on 31st March 2027. The contract was specifically awarded to SEMANTICS 21 LTD, a company based in Stafford.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses specialising in digital forensics and software solutions, particularly those capable of providing robust digital analytics tools and software licenses. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software packages and information systems could find similar opportunities for business growth, as governmental bodies seek specialised, high-tech solutions to meet their operational needs. The direct procurement method, albeit without competition in this case, highlights the potential importance of forming strategic relationships with public authorities to understand their specific requirements and offer tailored solutions.
