## Summary

The procurement process involves the Scottish Police Authority seeking services for the "Forensic Evidence Management - Interface & Services" project. This tender falls within the public order and safety industry sector and is located in Glasgow, UK. The procurement method utilised is a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, with the contract being awarded on 7th January 2020. The value of the contract is up to £300,000 for additional services concerning the existing Forensic Evidence Management System.
