## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands purchased access to the Q-Pulse Quality Management System (QMS) database, Business Edition, as a software-as-a-service application. The requirement is for the continued use of Q-Pulse software already used by the police force. The service is application hosting and access to the QMS database rather than a general software or IT support requirement. The procurement was made by the Commissioner, based in Birmingham. The service is for use in the United Kingdom; the published delivery information identifies the country but does not give a more specific place of delivery.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly without competition, on the stated basis that the buyer already uses Q-Pulse and no other supplier provides the software. IDEAGEN GAEL LIMITED was selected. The contract was signed on 14 January 2026 and runs from 15 January to 15 April 2026. Its value is £40,553.72 excluding VAT (£48,664.46 including VAT). The procurement was below the applicable threshold and comprised one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded; the buyer’s stated reason for selecting the supplier was the exclusive availability of the software. The award is for a single supplier and a single contract.

For suppliers considering similar work with the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands, the key commercial capability is providing the Q-Pulse QMS database as a hosted subscription, specifically the Business Edition. The buyer’s stated reliance on this software, and its view that no other supplier provides it, indicate that an alternative supplier would need to demonstrate an authorised route to supply Q-Pulse or a credible equivalent that meets the buyer’s requirement for continuity of its existing system. Relevant strengths would include licensing and maintaining access to the database as a service, and supporting the buyer’s continued use of its established quality management platform. The awarded requirement was a focused, single-lot software service rather than a broad implementation or technology programme.

## Notice

Supplier is required as we use their software QPulse. No other supplier provides this software.
