## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands procured services for the Q-Pulse database, an application service used by the organisation. The requirement concerns access to or provision of the Q-Pulse system, supplied by Ideagen Gael Limited. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. This is a software application service rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work. The procurement description says the supplier was selected because it provides the Q-Pulse system. The buyer is based in Birmingham, and the supplier is based in Glasgow.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Ideagen Gael Limited through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The stated reason was that Ideagen Gael was the only supplier that could be used because it provides the Q-Pulse system. The contract was signed on 14 January 2026 and runs from 15 January to 15 April 2026. Its value is £33,130.50 excluding VAT and £39,756.60 including VAT. There was one lot, which is complete. The award record identifies the Q-Pulse database application service; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award indicates demand from the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner for continued use of the Q-Pulse database as an application service. The successful supplier’s position rested on providing that specific system, rather than on a competitive assessment of alternative products or general application-service capability. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer would therefore need to provide Q-Pulse itself, or demonstrate a credible route to supplying and supporting the same system. The award provides no evidence that the buyer is seeking a replacement platform or a broader database service. The small, short-term contract points to a focused requirement, rather than a large implementation programme. Relevant commercial strengths are direct product access and the ability to deliver the Q-Pulse service to a UK public-sector customer.
