## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands commissioned an annual ITHC (IT health check) service to support the yearly Public Services Network (PSN) accreditation required by the Home Office. The work is classified broadly as information technology services. The requirement is a recurring security and compliance check rather than a general IT support contract. Delivery is in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ARMADILLO SEC LTD. The buyer used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,725 excluding VAT (£30,870 including VAT). The award is active and relates to a single lot. The stated purpose is to carry out the annual ITHC check for Home Office PSN accreditation; no separate evaluation basis is recorded.

This award shows demand from the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner for specialist IT health-check work tied to the annual PSN accreditation cycle. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to conduct security-focused technical assessments and provide evidence that their work supports the relevant accreditation process. Experience delivering comparable checks for public-sector networks, and the capacity to complete a defined annual service, would be commercially relevant. The previous purchase was made by direct award without competition, so suppliers should also monitor the buyer’s procurement route when this requirement next comes to market.
