## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands bought DutySheet software for managing duties for cadets, special constables and police support vehicles (PSVs). The requirement covers C3 user access for each group, with the cadet service identified as a 12-month user arrangement. The buyer is based in Birmingham. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is categorised as goods because it concerns an industry-specific software package. The selected supplier, Access UK Limited, is a Loughborough-based software business. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of workforce, duty-management or operational scheduling software used by policing or similar public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Access UK Limited through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its total value is £36,167.30 excluding VAT, or £43,400.76 including VAT. The award covers one lot and is active. The stated breakdown is £0 for the cadet C3 user service for 12 months, £13,975.20 for the Specials C3 user service and £22,192.10 for the PSV C3 user service. The award is for software rather than works or consultancy, and the recorded evaluation route was a direct award without a competitive tender. Access UK Limited is the named awarded supplier.

This award shows demand from the West Midlands policing sector for a packaged duty-management system serving several distinct user groups: cadets, special constables and police support vehicle operations. A competing supplier would need a product capable of handling role-specific duty scheduling and user access across those groups, with sufficient coverage for deployment across England. Experience delivering industry-specific software to public authorities, particularly policing or organisations with mixed operational workforces, would help establish credibility. Suppliers should also be able to support a multi-user service over a defined annual operating period and explain how different user populations can be configured within one platform. The direct, below-threshold route indicates a relatively contained requirement, so a credible alternative would need a focused, readily deployable product rather than a large transformation programme.
