## Summary

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) has completed a procurement process focused on the extension of a digital forensic licence for the Cellebrite tool. This process pertains to the services industry category, specifically related to license management software development. The contract has been awarded as a foreseen 12-month extension, with a final expiry date of 30 June 2027. Operating under a limited procurement method without prior publication, this decision was driven by technical necessity due to a lack of competition. The procurement process is already at the contract award stage, with the contract being signed on 19 June 2026 and related activities located within London, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in digital forensic technology and software development services, particularly those capable of offering niche solutions that others cannot. Large-scale organisations with existing technical contracts and those specialising in forensic investigation tools would find this procurement extension beneficial for reinforcing their market presence and fostering long-term relationships with public entities like MOPAC. The awarded supplier for this contract extension, Cellebrite UK Ltd, exemplifies a business well-suited for such technical procurements due to its specialised capabilities in providing digital forensic solutions.
